Part 1:

Art & Design Sketchbook

The sketchbook is made from two cover pieces and 10 A3 papers in the middle which are the pages.

How I made it:

First I layered all the A3 papers on top of each other, then folded them across the middle (Landscape).

Then, I glued two cover pieces onto the pages on the outside, with the rough side facing out.

Next, I taped over the fold inside and outside the book several times so it stayed together.

Then, I marked 9 dots 3 cm apart from each other inside the book, on the crease. I used a hammer and a nail to make holes where the dots were.

Finally, I used string to sew the book together using the “Two over One under” Method through the dots. After that I designed the cover so I could easily recognise it was mine from a distance.

Part 3:

Even though eBooks are becoming very popular, I believe that we still require paper books in the world. I believe this because eBooks have to be read on electronics, and many of them are very expensive. Paper Books, on the other hand, are cheap and a lot of people can access them easily. Libraries would go out of business very fast if eBooks took over and if Paper Books were obsolete.
