The Ingredients of a Book - Thesis Project
Figure Spread 2

Description
It’s always been one of my goals in life to write, design, and
bind a codex style book, so for my Senior Thesis I finally did. I
researched how to best create a book, wrote about what I found
through this research in my thesis paper, and then I applied
what I found through my research by turning my thesis paper
into a book.
