1. Objectives of the Project
Lesley Kaiser [#mobcop12 and gdcop]:
[with bindery technicians Louise James and Iranna Ashton]
Update on Elective Project (Limited edition bookbinding for
designers) weeks I & 2 (July 27 and Aug 2, 2012)
Photos taken with ipads. First experiments in class.
Combine old and new technologies in the book bindery
Long term objective is to integrate new technology such as
Ipads/iphones, in delivering content for BDes Graphics papers,
and in research.

2. Ipad connected to screen in bindery is used to introduce the
brief and demo of direct links to relevant contexts / archives etc.

3. Outputs for this elective:
•A sample set of limited edition binding styles in a fold-down
box – students select from demonstrated binding options and
create their own sample set of bindings
•A prototype for a printed limited edition with original creative
content (to be developed in consultation with the tutor but it is
essentially a self-directed project).
•The context for your project is the Artists’ Books tradition,
starting with the Russian Avant-Garde, Fluxus, etc.
•An epub (optional). The project invites connections between
historic book movements and today’s epublication context.

6. Individual student publication proposals are talked through in
one-to-one tutorials. Visual examples of suggested genres can
be put up on the screen for discussion and contextualisation.
