OVERVIEW
Project Process
01. Content Creation
Writing, illustrating, and laying out each page was a challenge in it of itself, and took up a majority of the timeline. However, once I had an outline and rough ideas for each page, they all began to fall into place.

02. Material Sourcing
Since the book was composed of two parts and two experiences, I wanted to make sure that the materials meshed well together. This process involved a lot of color printing tests, cover iterations, and thread color tests.

03. Fabrication
The process of making the book included a lot of sharp learning curves. This was my first time using a sewing machine and also book binding. However, after creating prototypes, I felt more confident going into the final rounds of binding and sewing the book. The book is covered in canvas material, and the book sleeve becomes a tent. Throughout the book there are also interactions such as write-in sections and interactive letters!
