Hand Rendered Mock Ups

I already had a good idea of the modernist style I wanted to create for these books. I wanted to use a structured, square grid which I found in my research which utilises what is referred to as 'The Golden Section', here is a simple diagram
to show the variety of shapes and sizes that the grid can accommodate.



I began testing paper by folding it in different ways and drawing rough ideas of layouts to see which was working. I am very glad I did this as up till this point I had been sure that I was going to produce my paper for each chapter/book but it has just occurred to me that any paper I make myself will now fold easily and I will risk damaging and breaking it every time it's opened. I now plan on trying to find some large sample pieces of recycled paper from one of the stockists I've found recently.

I think that this first design works best, it holds a lot of content, requires minimal packaging and opens like a book to begin with revealing the chapter introduction and contents.
