Hand bound concertina books

I made two hand bound books in the 'concertina' style this week, for my college's photography summer brief: "Create a sketchbook on a place you visited this summer".



The covers of the two books...



...join up when you turn them over.








The pages are glued at the back with a little flap



Book 1 is about the time in Durban







Book 2 about the trip to Phinda, the roadtrip through the western and eastern cape and Cape Town.

This is my favourite...

...Ad at the moment!

Nice quick scans

Designer's Block

I went to an event called Designer's Block in Shoreditch High Street yesterday. Loads of really pretty, designy people among their even prettier, designier objects. It was good fun!
Please excuse the bad image quality, in lack of a digital camera I had to use a mobile phone to capture some of the work I found inspiring.
The italic poster is my favourite piece of design ever! What a brilliant, simple and witty idea.
