Pan Macmillan Storybook - Production

We spent a while discussing which stock would be best for the book. Eventually the book was printed on matte stock, with the inner pages being a slightly lower gsm than the outer cover. This was so the pages would fold easily, yet the subtle thickness would still seem luxurious. Glossy stock was looked at as this would have been best for colour quality, however it was only one-sided and didn’t feel as nice to touch. It was bound using staples as this felt most realistic for a storybook, although it would have been interesting to experiment with a perfect bind given more time as this may have been more authentic.
