I was very interested in using this suede material for the cover. It reminded me of a really old notebook that was kept for records or something. The suede did not work out for the cover because it was decided that it was too traditional looking.
I tried to stitch around the illustrations to add a more tactile page. The paper was tricky to stitch through and I wasn't sure if it would stay put or not.
My idea has been evolving more into an artist book. I have decided to focus more on the format of the book than the actual graphics right now. I want to create a format that focuses more on shape of the pages. I still want to use some kind of maps throughout the book and cut them out so the shape protrudes out of the book. I like the look of the book on this link. The kind of map-like grid in the background is kind of the feeling want to have in my book.
