Thursday and Friday - Organizing Signatures

In the context of book-binding, a signature refers to a section of paper. All the paper of a book are divided into several signatures and then sewn together. The number of paper in a signature varies, there might be one or more than one, depending on the thickness and size of the paper and the content of the book - each of our signatures has three pages folded in half.

Today we focused on organizing all of the signatures for our journals.

I provided an Illustrator template for students to use in designing their covers, you can access the template here.
