Task One
Task one was to make a landscape format saddle stitch book. A saddle stitch book is made by stabbing holes In the perfect diameter of a staple with an awl (A tool with a long, sharp end for making holes) to make it so when you stack the paper together and all the holes line up you can open the staples and close them around the holes. This will hold the book indefinitely
Task 2
Task two was to make a portrait format stab stitched book, a stab stitch book is where you put all the pages of the book and the cover together folded in the way you want the book to look, in our case in a portrait format. Then you stab the holes in the placement you want and hopefully with an equal distance between them so it looks professional, this allows you to pull the thread through in whatever design you wish your book to look in the end.
The next part of this task was to cut a perfectly central 50 mm square on the first inside page and then decrease the cut by 4 mm by on each of the corresponding pages until there is not more physical space for me to do so.
