The Inheritance Games: Limited Edition Book

Role	Graphic Designer, Book Binder, Photographer
Services	Print Design, Typography, Bookbinding, Photography
Software	Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Photoshop

While building my limited edition book, I learned every part of the bookbinding process. I designed, printed, stitched, glued, cased, and foiled by hand. Beyond the construction process, I also learned the importance of material quality and precise measurements.

I experimented with hundreds of typefaces and underwent many proofs and critiques before coming to my final result. I made sure to photograph each step of my work for documentation of my design process. This project was out of my comfort zone but I was able to learn a lot of cool things like the anatomy and construction of a book.
