Crescent City - Creative Book Binding
Crescent City - Creative Book Binding
This project focuses on integrating creative design with traditional craftsmanship. Extensive research into the book’s themes informed cohesive visual designs for both the interior and exterior. The production process involved precise bookbinding techniques, including cutting bookboard, applying fabric and vinyl, stenciling, and binding with PVA glue. Custom packaging and promotional materials were also developed, uniting artistry, craftsmanship, and professional presentation.
