The colouring book is being manufactured in a bulk of 25. The orientation of this book is landscape. The cover is 300gsm matte laminated stock for the cover and back page and the inside is 115gsm recycled paper stock. The book consists of 32 pages purely because of the budget available to work with. It is more cost effective to mass produce books if you divide the cost individually but to buy it as a bulk is expensive on a student budget. The process was long. It was weeks of back and forth adjusting the artwork with the specific requirements for their printer. The book needed a 2mm bleed and 300dpi. The illustrations were also going to be printed within the inside of the cover and back pages on the laminated stock but needed to be redirected so that they were not and an extra illustration needed to be added as the book was originally ordered at 28 pages but extra pages needed to be added in 4's. This is why the extra illustration was needed. As of the 1st of November, the dispatch should be the 2nd and they should arrive on the 3rd in time for the final crit Friday.
There as one created using the resources at university and it was £6. To make one is more expensive if you were going to produce more than one. It also doesn't have the professional standard as getting it manufactured by a company does because they have a team of people producing them. It's time consuming to produce it by hand because you need to cut all the individual pages and bind each book one by one.
