the book

I spent a ton of time this past month working on a guidebook layout for my design class. The information came from a boring text document provided to students headed to Prague for study abroad, and we were handed the task of making it more accessible and attractive. We were given pretty loose guidelines for book construction, so the results were widely varied in materials and size. I chose to keep the layout as accessible as possible, and experimented with Japanese bookbinding (with the help of this book) for the construction. The photos are from previous attendees of this study abroad program, though I don't have any names to provide credit to. I also promise I did a better job on the stitching for the copy that is actually going to Prague (this was the first go!).
