Book Binding - Design Principles - OUGD405

During design principles, we learned how books and magazines are blinded. This was useful for me as this is all relatable to the current project and knowledge I can apply to my zine for the coffee industry.

After the session I looked online for a good resource that makes all types of binding clear to the eye and describes it better than I can.
I found an article on Designers Insights which tells you pretty much all you need to know and more about book binding.

Mini-Tutorials of how these stitches are done:

As you can tell, there are so many different ways in which you can bind a book. However most of these to not apply to me at the moment for this current project, at least I will have them for future reference if I think a sewn bound would be more practical than a saddle stitch for a more of a reenforced spine.
