the pixel binding - tutorial - teaser

Learn how to make Ben's latest design, the pixel binding. The Pixel binding is a structure in which the boards (and the spine) are made up of a multitude of little squares (the 'pixels') which hinge with one another and thus give the binding a remarkable feel, halfway between a hard cover and a soft cover binding. The grid visual that results from the board composition is a striking feature that can lead to many different design concepts. Order your copy here: https://benelbel.com/products/printed... Testimonial I really enjoyed making this binding. Beyond the pixel binding itself, I learned some interesting things. The tutorial is clear and well explained, it's not difficult to follow. A first reading gives a good overall view of the project. It's a binding that is very fast for the quality of its result. In total, I counted about eight hours of work excluding drying time. It will probably be faster the next times as I become more comfortable with the technique. I wonder how much I can gain in efficiency with practice. The few difficulties I encountered were linked either to mistakes on my part, or to a lack of experience with certain materials, or to external parameters. But I never had any frustration with the tutorial or its explanations. I can't wait to try this binding again and to be able to test things in terms of decorations. I wonder what kind of results I will get with different materials, if changing the pixel size greatly changes the result, etc... ~ Théo F. ~
