The activity book:
I am creating an activity book based on the content of my essay. I want to make the booklet to a realistic standard, this includes stock, binding and size.

Choosing a stock:
I want to use an uncoated stock that resembles an old colouring book for children. I think that this would allow my book to be produced as cheaply as possible. I selected 6 samples of stock from the library.
The chosen stock:
I am printing the cover on Pearl Grey as it is heavier than the content stock. The content will be printed onto Bulky Newsprint. I have chosen these stock's because I think that the link best to the colouring book.

Spiral bound:
Open perfect binding:
Saddle stitched - staples:
Unbound - individual cards:
