The start of todays session, we were giving an hour and a half to print off our manifesto layout, these are the selection of images that I created. I did create more than 10, but that made it easier to decide which images I actually wanted in the booklet. I have to take a picture from my phone of the images as I can’t seem to add the documents into the blog. However they are in my sketchbook.
This was my manifesto, again I had to take the photographs from my phone of the screen, but there is an example in my book aswell.
I did have quite a lot of issues with printing because we were using our own paper so we had to se the bypass tray from the printer, and we had to figure out how to use it. Also I had a personal problem where someone had logged into their account over my printing and the printing prioritised the other persons work and my work stopped printing half way through, so I had to go to IT and get a refund. This took away quite a lot of time.
We did have an hour UCAS talk to talk to us about personal statements and universities. I learnt that I am guaranteed a place at Ravensbourne which was really good to know because I am really feeling about coming here. I feel so comfortable and I love coming here on the foundation course. I am really enjoying it.
After the break that we had, we had to actually bind the booklet together using thread and a needle. We had to message 2cm from each side, and then measure the middle of the 17cm line which was 8.5cm. This create 3 points where we would make the holes. Once the holes were made, we put thread into the needle. then closed the thread around the needle, and used a Pretzel Stitch. Go in the middle hole over into the left/right, then over into the other left/right then back out into the middle and it binds the book together. I then tied it together and it created a book.
After this, we got our end papers, and very lightly PVA glued the bind of the book and folder our end paper so the design was hidden and stick it on the front and back of the book. But only gluing the edge of the booklet.
This was the end result:
Tomorrow I will be cutting down the end paper so it matches the actually size of the booklet.
