The journey we made was a circular trip around the university and a park nearby in which we documented the direction of our walking, the angle gradient of the ground that we were walking on, various snippets of conversation and also students noted the decreasing size of the cigarettes that were smoked on the way. All of these variables contributed towards rules set regarding how a book is made. Considering size, stock, cover, bind and layout - the information gathered from our journey informed all of our decision making,
Cutting corners is a 360 circular book with a revolving bind as our journey was in a circle, which also impacted our decision to have no cover for the book. The size of the pages are decreasing because of the burning of cigarettes which also decreased throughout the journey. The paper stock becomes thicker as we went outside to show the putting on of coats and the colours of the stock show the colours of the environment we noticed, the white is showing white, bright colours and shades inside Uni and the muted darker colours represent the more muted colours and tones outside, with the green showing the parts of nature and grass we came across. There are 24 pages in the book, representing the amount of times we changed direction, this will be additionally represented in the layout of type within the book, when we changed direction the reader will have to move the book in that way.
