My main idea is to create a book for the CD.

I always listen to music when I am reading, so I believe its not so hard to create a book according to the music in the CD.

I will most likely to make a  1 hour long mix, and create a book which relate to the music and me playing music.  I have many photo of me playing DJ, and I will probably add some photo which remind me of the music.  I am not sure about what I will write on the book, but I would like to write my thoughts about the music, and introduction about the songs.

I would like to make many copies of this book, but I want to put hard cover and CD case build in it, so I have to figure out how I can accomplish this without paying too much for materials.

The sides of the book will be double the size of CD case, and if there is a way, I want to use japanese style 4 hole binding with a heavy cover.

After making 2 book from see using plastic-ish cover, finally I made a well created one.

This time, I used photos taken by Shoko using Lomo, and each pages are folded by the edge.

I tried to be more precise on cutting, and the finish looks much better than the last ones.  I also used brown thread to match with the cover print—in my opinion, its working perfect.

I made a book with Japanese style 4 hole binding.

This time I include a blue plastic CD case inside of the book so that I can put a CD.  I chose Sewn on the spine turn in since I wanted to show blue CD case a little bid from the spine.  I chose Plastic-ish cover for the book, so I think this book have an interesting taste.  I cut the zine made by art magazine, so the picture inside of the book is beautiful too.

AUTOBAHN/ FLAGGEN

Cover is plastic see-thru, and binding style is perfect binding.

This is a really simple book, but the text and all the detail has classical look and very interesting.

There are holes created by burning the papers, and you can read a text throught the hole written on the next paper.  The edge of the hole is brown maybe since its burnt, and looks very beautiful.

Simon Starling/ Cutting.

Using a pamphlet sewing, and using different size of paper very wisely.

You can see the edge of other paper, and they use the part wisely to show other text written in different paper.  The papaer itself is different, and gives an interesting finish.

Debatir La Ville/Unbuilding the city

on the edge of alll the paper, there is a black and white patterns, so it doesnt look like a typical book.  Using a perfect binding, and the width and heigh is the same size.  There is a text written just in middle of the paper.

DIS/Location 1 Projet D’ ArticulationUrbaine / Square Viger

This is a book putting all document about an event taken place in Germany.(I think)

Using some kind of binding similar to Japanese 4 hole binding put together.  For the document recording the interviews, the editor used a different size of Type and showing the emotions of speech,

The Diary of Madma/ Nikolai Gogol

Its one of my favorite writers book accompanied with illustration.  This book have a box, and have a very solid cover.  using some kind of Japanese 4 hole binding, but the cover is solid like a wood and covered with other cloth.  The book is designed to create the atmosphere the story have, and very well made.  Cost around $200 so I couldnt buy.

50/50

As the title says, there is 50 percent black and 50percent white in all pages, using different shape and patterns.  Very clever idea and cute.  Using perfect binding, but the cover is made by plastic and very solid.
