inner booklet designs !!!

i wanted to create a range of different designs for my inner booklet of the cd album. this is important because it gives me a range of skills and also gives me a chance to experiement with different designs to see what works and what doesnt its also a good way to to use materials that i wouldnt normally use. i think this was a really good way to see what my end results could possibly look like.

this was my design with a simple linner booklet that was created with the basic staple design. i used the standard measurements 12cm by 24, and did that on four pieces of paper. and then folded the paper in half and stapled the middle of the book to create the basic inner booklet.

i think that this worked really well and i also liked the idea of using tracing paper because then i could add lyrics onto the tracing paper and having images behind on the paper. i also think it works well because the book is very well kept together as it has been stapled. the thing that i don't like about this design is that it looks too basic for my inner booklet i want it to be different and stand out from other booklets, i would also have to change the paper i used, i could use high gloss paper because that would have a more high profile looks which would fit better with my artist for example cheryl cole has a lot of high production when it comes to her albums so i would want to keep in order with that.

this is what the booklet looks like from the side as you can see all the pages can be opened properly and i think this is a really effective way to create the booklet. i also like the use of different papers to create even more of and effect. the only downside about this is that there isn't a lot you can do in creative wise with it because its just stuck together with basic staples thats the only downside to this design, although you could still make the pages amazing and also by adding different size paper would be even better and add a new effect to the booklet.

this is the basic staple design and how the staples looks inside the booklet, they have been stapled right in the middle and i used three strapless on the booklet to make it even more secure and durable because it will be opened a lot so it needs to be able to last. i think that overall this worked really well and the design is basic but has potential to go further. i would like to do this again but try it with photo paper and my own edited photos of my artist. i would also like to try and see how the tracing paper and lyrics would work.

this was another booklet design that i did, this was done by using string to attach the pages together, i did the same thing that i did with the other booklet i used four pieces of paper with the same measurements. but instead of using staples i used string and i did this by first folding the paper in half and then piercing three holes in the middle and then threaded string through and tied it around the back of the booklet in a bow.

i really like this design because the string adds to the design instead of just using staples and i think it has a natural effect, and gives the booklet a more personal feel. i think that this would work really well for the band little mix because they are very homely and have an innocent appeal to them, so the string would be a really nice touch for them.


the downside about this design is that its not very strong and also it still doesn't have the wow factor that i want to have for my album. this design is much more personal and natural then a normal inner booklet design for example cheryl cole.

but overal i think that the design worked really well and if i was to chose little mix as my band then i think it would work perfectly as it looks really cute and the personal touch of the bow an string would fit the band really well, doing this design also taught me a new skill as iv never created a booklet by using string so it has taught me something by doing it as well.

this is a design for a inner booklet that i created that was really simple to make, i think this is the most simple design that i created so far. what i did was using the same standard messurments i then folded it in half and hold punched a whole in the middle of the of the folded edge. and then tied an elastic band through the hole.

i really like this idea and what i like about it even better is that you could use so many different materials for example instead of using an elastic band i could use thread or different colour elastic bands to fit into my theme and for example if i did little mix i would use different colour elastic bands because their image is very colourful and that way it would fit into the theme of the band,

i think that this would work really well and it doesnt take long to put together, also there are alot of different possiblities that could be done with this for example making more holes and using more elastic bands.

i dont know if i would chose to do this for my inner booklet because i think i want my theme to be more high profile and high production to it, but i do think this design works well and also doesnt have many negatives the only negative i found was that i would have to use strong paper like card because the elastic bands can make the paper bend and not stay straight which could be a problem and also take away from the design.

this is another design that i created and it is very simular to the booklet above, the only difference with this booklet is that i made it slightly different, when i created this booklet i used all different size paper and used different materials. the reason i wanted to do this was because when i create my final booklet i want to do something different and i want my booklet to stand out and be something for the fans of the artist to enjoy and look at something more interesting then just the basic size pages. i also wanted to try it out to see how it would look and if it would be a good idea for me to do.

i think this design was the best design that i created out of all the designs i have done, the reason is because the different size papers really makes it look amazing and i have added three holes to make sure none of the paper falls out. and i think this would be really good because i could use the different sizes to add extra information about the artist or lyrics without taking up a whole page which is what i wanted. it also adds volume to the booklet and by having the different sizes it makes the booklet much more interesting and also the fans would have alot more fun looking through the booklet. i think this worked so well and was definitly my favourt.

this is how the booklet looks when you open it from the inside, also what i like is that the different size papers and different types of paper has made the booklet look 3D when you open it out. i think i will definitely consider using this method when creating my booklet because to me it brings something different and i think it will definitely be more interesting for the fans to look at.
