Before making my final book I made a mock up concertina book with sketches in to plan where I would place each image and make sure they looked right within the frame of the A4 page. Originally because I wanted to screen print my book, I was going to do the concertina double sided and stick the long, large sheets together. However after planning my week a little better I decided that I wouldn't have time to screen print, so I decided to use digital printing instead.
Because I was digitally printing I decided I could no longer make a concertina book, so would just make a normal, stitched book, which would save a lot of time.
As I had already made all the negatives for screen printing, I decided I would scan these into Photoshop, and colourise them, in order to get a similar overlapping effect still using the bold shaped of colour.
This is my final finished book after I had stitched it together. I am quite pleased with the overall finished thing, I think the colour turned out how I wanted, although the layout could have been better, I kind of like how there is only one image on two of the pages.
