Handmade Paper Cover


Sophie's handmade paper was too small for the actual publication, however the textural difference with the sharp typeface and the shiny sticker may be interesting enough to ask for another paper to be produced - A3 and then cut down.

Exploring the smallest typeface size printed, it just resembles a diary and doesn't provide enough impact. The thinner stroke also completely loses the purpose of the bolder stems providing movement.









Using two texts to wrap around. The appearance of the sticker in the light is really interesting as it seems almost iridescent.

Feedback
Millie was very onboard with the handmade paper as the clash between a natural paper with the Osin paperstock provides a really interesting narrative but I don't agree that the narrative works well enough to continue with.

Dom doesn't have much faith in the idea and doesn't think it provides much to the narrative of the book - she suggested just using card or coloured stock as the placement of title provides more than the handmade paper, and the handmade paper takes away from the type.
