I was incredibly relieved to hear that the printing/ production of the book is not really an important element of the project, and that it's worth doing slowly and well when I have time for it, maybe doing it for the show. In the meantime, getting the images together in a dummy book to present how it would be put together is all that is needed but this can still have care taken over it! I have now booked a print slot for May 4th and I think this is enough time to get the book done. This all also gives me more time for COP, but also to put more time into the rest of the range for 505.
I've also reconsidered the format of the book after realising that because everything was a double page spread it might get a bit tricky with gutters and aligning spreads together when not perfect bound. Ben suggested that I consider having one page of text to one page of illustration to avoid this, but it also gives the image itself space to breathe, whilst what I'm making already is maybe a little chaotic.
I made these type tests before I thought about this consideration but it was good to play with and I'll probably stick with Futura as a result. I also made this image before I redecided the book format but practice is practice
