December 2006 already

December already. Where did October/November go to.
I have finally finished my studies for 2006. And am enjoying some time around home doing other things, like setting up the xmas tree. We had a lovely day in Wangaratta today . We met up with my parents for lunch at a nice cafe. Then we visited an exhibition of work by the TAFE students in Wangaratta. Mum had some work on display. It was an interesting exhibition. There was also a display with some of the Shepparton andWangaratta Graphic Design students in the gallery, it was good to see what the other campus is doing for the same assignments.We took the kids to the park in Wangaratta and they had a lovely time twisting the swings around and getting really dizzy.
Enjoy the next few images of my last 3 assignments all feature different styles of book making in them.

Inside Substrates book

This image shows the edge of the pages inside the substrate book, it was spiral bound. I designed and printed the pages and stuck them onto card with a black backing card as well. Then placed plastice pockets in between each page. Spiral bound.

This is a colour activity book, The image at the top is a slip cover to keep the book in. The book has a cardboard cover, made in 3 pieces, then the pages are spiral bound onto the cover inside it.
The content on the pages was to highlight the difference between, printing colours , ie one spot, two spot, CMYK, using one colour to achieve several different tones, colour separation. This was an assignment for Graphic Prepress.
