OUGD404: Printing My Second Publication

Today I went to staples and attempted to print my book. This was the first way my book printed... A4 sheets which were not set out in a book format instead they printed an image per page. So I attempted again and it came out in a booklet format. Tomorrow I am going to the print room to add the inserts and staple the book together.

The stock in staples I chose to use was a matte finish paper 160 gsm for the front and back pages and 120 gsm for the middle pages.

My next step for this book is to piece it together. 

I found the process of printing this book very difficult and was told I was being very ambitious with my concept as a piece of feedback but I really wanted to try make it. I also printed a back up book before breaking up for easter incase this layout concept went wrong because I was worried it may have been "too ambitious" and also because I had not completely figured out how I was going to place the inserts yet. It's the same concept for a book but the layout is simplified without the inserts.

My back up book:

I wanted it to maintain the focal point on the images but instead of having the insert. The reader sees the item first then the caption to understand the story.
