Connections

Inspiration for my final typographic book project

Cover experiment - I like the idea of having a tracing paper cover where you can’t quite see the text beneath - links to Illusion and mysticism.

Prototype packaging/cover made of cardboard with a slip to hold it closed and secure.  I would bind the pages to the spine of the box if I was to use this idea.

I’d like to do something like this with cardboard so it is like a package.

I like the different textures and 3D appearance.

I like the interesting stitch on top of the material that is only on the spine.
Also I could use simply nice paper for the cover.

I could use small binder clips with the handles removed.

I found this example of an elastic band being used… simple and clean.

Also a very nice cover… perhaps a good idea, I like the pattern also… I could maybe carve into foam board.

Reminds me of a handbag strap in a way - elegant.

Maybe I could use something like these hockey/sports takes… they have a contrasting texture.
