Through this project I further developed imposition skills through file preparation and the use of print imposition softwares. This was especially pertinent for the book as the final page count was 324 pages, including chapter openers, transition pages – all imposed to be collated in 27 signatures.
This process was also a great learning experience to better understand the book binding process, both on the boutique and industrial level. I hand bound the book from the ground up, mainly using the Coptic binding technique and a pseudo butterfly stitch for additional visual effect (7 evil exes).
This was a great process to learn and better understand what goes into the imposition and book creation process. This not only helped me better understand file preparation and pre-production, but the intricacies of the book production process across its entire life.
