At the start of the year for 504 a large range of binding techniques where experimented with in a workshop, each have their own benefits. After experimenting and creates these earlier in the year this knowledge can therefore be used to inform and be applied the design decision for this aspect of the zine.
The aim of the zine is to send out many different copies of the final outcome cheaply and fast to the contributes along with future networkers or anyone i aim to working with in the future as a form of self promotion (to inform about my practise) but also to show the other designers work and their opinons on the subject matter rather than as a sold book that would be bought which will reflect in the cheap nature of the final outcome. Zines are created cheaply as to be send out as much as possible without a large budget therefor the binding method aims to fit with this cost. As there are 22 contributors these means once finally printing the zines will be need to be bound fast and effectively, this is a strong/stable method which will not take as long as the binding for the 504 project therefore a faster method will be selected
In the workshop i learnt that the cheapest and fastest method of binding is saddle stitch, this attached the pages together so the they booklet can be open full bleed whilst also working for any number of pages. For this zine this method will be selected to reflect the cheap, quick production nature of zine manufacture process.
