What is Good? Format Workshop.

Five things I don't know about the formats

  • blizzard bind - the exact folding process
  • concertina bind - whether it is better to secure the pages in the mountains or valleys
  • accordion bind - how long will the stock need to be to get an appropriate amount of pages
  • japanese bind - what is the best thread to use
  • screw bind - where to buy the screws themselves


Five things I don't know about processes

  • laser cutting - how do you work the programme
  • laser cutting - how do you just indent the surface rather than cutting all the way through
  • embossing - what is the best stock to use
  • embossing - how damp does the stock need to be
  • embossing - what material is the best to create the stamp to emboss with


Reasons why favourite example (blizzard bind) is bad

  • the stock that would be needed to be used would be very long
  • it might not be very strong
  • it could deconstruct easily
  • the process seems very complicated


Reasons why favourite example (blizzard bind) is good

  • very unique and original
  • pages slot in easily
  • content can be changed and rearranged
