Production has been successfully implemented from start to finish, ensuring that I could create a book that was cheap to make but still expressed a contemporary style. something that could be affordable for young creatives but was still influential in the style it expressed. The cost efficient methods I put into place were as follows.
For all the photos a red pantone colour was added to insure the printing cost would be sufficiently lower as a pantone colour only prints with one ink. By doing this I still made sure the contemporary style is still implemented as overlays of colour is still a current trend of modern books. As you can see the front cover has no text on the front or back, which will also save money as it wouldn't need to go through the printers. But the front cover feature still delivers a modern style and without any text the cover would enhance the users interest into finding out what the book is about. The stock I used for the inside pages is a huge cost saver. The glossy Atalis Digigreen paper would only need the laser printer to print out the inside pages. The benefit of the laser printer is that it's a lot cheaper then using ink jet. It only cost £4.20 to print a 26 page A3 booklet out. If I used any other paper then it would of cost me between £10-15. And that is only for a one of booklet. If i was going to print the publication commercially then the price would dramatically drop due to bulk buying and printing. Then again even though the I used the laser printer with stock that didn't cost as much the publication still maintained it's fashionable style due the publication being a photo book and glossy paper gives photographs the best outcome on glossy paper then any other.
Lastly Binding method. I chose to staple bind my book. I didn't wanted my book to have a complex bind method just to make the book look 'fancy'. I wanted my bind method to fit it's purpose. When you look at my publication you can instantly tell that it isn't a book for the higher class society. It's essentially a publication that is solely aimed at young creatives. Most books in contemporary book shops aren't binded in a fancy way , they are their to get their message out to the audience in the cheapest means. And to me the staple bind suited that purpose which related to all other aspects of the book.
