Thesis Documentation
Final Presentation Preparation
December 4, 2025 •. Design Production
For this final week of my thesis, I needed to test print my book. I initially was going to do an accordion format of my book, however, it did not work the way I had hoped. It was difficult to bound the book in a way that looked presentable. Below are the first mockups of the book.
While the prints looked good, as mentioned, I needed to find another solution for binding. For the final presentation, I chose to do saddle stiched binding for now, and next semester, I will print the book professionally through Blurb.
Furthermore, I also continued with the motion companion piece. I changed up the motion portion a bit—instead of including old home videos of myself, I chose to create a dynamic version of the book in which the sounds of the video will represent the chapter. For the sake of time, I will create the first scene (Chapter 1), but then next semester, I will finish the motion portion and create the final two scenes. Below is the rough draft for the motion portion.
