OUGD405: Print Specification and Binding

I have chosen to have my first publication printed by printed.com. The book will be printed on 165gsm smooth white paper in black and white before being Saddle stitched with staples. I feel this binding method is both relevant and appropriate to the publication in that it is a standard binding, adding to the form and function of the book with nothing done that is not necessary.

I added a standard 3mm bleed to the pages before sending the files to ensure there is sufficient spread that can be cut down once the signature is put together. When re-setting my margins after the critique I ensured there was also sufficient space accounting for creep.
