Type in context - Finishing and binding.

Like i had talked about in my research i had planned to use a thicker stock on the cover that would allow it to resit wear and tear and little easier, when doing my experiments i experimented with some brown card that i just had lying around however i actually really loved how this looked and decided to use it for my cover. I feel like the colour of the paper really reminded me on canvas backpacks found whilst travelling around, which fit perfectly with my book.

For the thread, i new i wanted to use a red colour as a little homage to the places where the images were taken, red/dark red is contained in both the Madrid and Barcelona flag so i though it would a good way of tying that into the publication

I also went with this maroon/red colour for my book title. Overall i think the colour looks really nice against the brown paper and i am extremely happy with the result.
