 Binding Books

Today we decided to create different examples of how to display books.
We did this by playing around with A4 and A3 paper, folding, cutting… by experimenting we were able to come out with a range of different examples.
We then started labeling the faces of the paper (Front/Back/1/2/3/4).
This was useful and helpful, given that we are learning the construction of a book and we should be able to use this information during brief 3.
