The finished printed booklet for one of my Univeristy projects. Used InDesign to compile it as a PDF ready for print.
In printing I used Moleskine paper pasted onto regular copier paper for the inside pages and brown paper pasted over regular copier paper for the front and back cover. Took a lot of time and effort to construct the whole thing.
Two insert spreads are drawn by hand as no time was left for them to be printed, but they still give an good overall effect I think. I drew a metaphor between coffee and the sea as I made it a journey through the booklet.

Like to moan. Like to queue. Love to moan about queuing. My God they're British.
And the blue lion laughed and laughed.
