Cutting corners...

Spent the day testing out and finalising book ideas, struck on the idea of cutting the corner of each page so that the pages can be fanned out yet the font names can still be read. Also use the press for the first time today which really makes all that fiddling with kerning worth while. If i can get it produced in time the fan out book should look great! Decided on restricting the book to 2 colours (Black and red) because of printing constraints and for simplicity (the fonts themselves need to draw the attention).



Found a full set of numbers here to from a good backdrop to the fonts displayed. This numbers the fonts/facts while keeping the layouts interesting. The text can 'interplay' with the numbers as regards layout also.



Something that's surprised me is that printing can actually be faster on the press...position paper, fold down bed, roll and press and your done! No running out of ink at the last moment, no paper jams, no printing the wrong colour, no mechanical mysteries because you can see ow everything works on the press....plus feel like your printing a physical 3D object...ink jet printers seem very 2D in comparison!
