We detail how each of these choices gives a different aesthetic to the finished book and how they combine with printing, foiling and gloss Spot UV Varnishing to produce a high-end publication to showcase your work in the best format possible.

The video showcases hardback children’s books, maximum quality coffee table books, University final major projects and photography books. We also give a comprehensive insight into winning page layout formats to help your graphic designer prepare the artwork for print.
