been playing around in indesign with theoretically collecting my favorite graphics, getting them printed out properly, and then binding them on my own cause i like a good arts and crafts project and ive handbound stuff before and wdym i only have four graphics i like that used black as its base color? i thought i had way more?

#i miss formatting artbooks is it obvious? i miss the craft of putting everything together and it slowly becoming something greater #anyway in total there are fifteen separate graphics/seventeen images cause two of those have multiple pictures in one graphic #lowkey summer project vibes. idk if i want to struggle with hard cover binding or if id stick to japanese stab binding instead #afaik stab binding is easier according to a friend who handbinds regularly but also. ive never done it #but the one time i handbound hardcover. war flashbacks. igcse art my deeply detested </3 #tbf id probably get either three or five copies so i could experiment and keep a set totally on its own no binding so i could do both #also i yap so much in some of my graph descriptions jfc girl (gn) stop you dont need to yap so much-#also getting them printed out would mean the inherent strangeness of being seen:tm:. ew i hate that #time to figure out an online order form i guess lol #erika.txt
