One project down

Just finished up my first project for the book design course, after spending many a late night at the department. We were tasked with laying out the first book from the Kamasutra (it has seven books). The first book is mostly concerned with the contents of the other seven, so it’s not particularly spicy. We also had three commentaries to fit in there, including commentary on commentary. So, it was in need of an academic treatment, rather than the dirty picture book that you’re probably envisioning.

The book managed to come out at an even 32 pages, which makes for a nice signature with simple binding. Anyway, it’s finished and I’m happy with final product for now. It’s about 1:00 in the morning, and I’m ready to crash (the post is back-dated to sneak in under the October banner). Here are a few photos:

Just to note: the paper is white, the photos were taken late this evening without a flash and with little care.
