Not only did I reprint my Pantone booklet, I also made a slight alteration with the page above, adding simplistic lines to create the illusion of a square mimicking one of Albers' squares. I used one of the colours from the colour swatch I'd done myself of an area of Leeds I walk past regularly. I thought the colour choice highlighted the overall mood of this dingy abandoned building, it also works well with my choice of updated imagery of Albers' work. I found the previous images I'd used too garish, while this murky green fits better alongside the next double page spread, using Klein Blue as the background. I then continue using this blue in the next spread focusing on Pantone, this page also features Rose Quartz my favourite colour I came across when studying the Pantone colour series, this furthermore compliments the Marsala used on the facing page.
As the binding I sewed the pages together which was visually a lot more subtle and clean that my last booklet with wonky staples ruining the spine. However as soon as I folded my booklet carefully, this was irrelevant as a small amount of definition in the colour wore off due to a spine being created so it looks patchy which was frustrating. However you can only see this if the spine is observed and not when reading through the booklet. I was really glad to learn how to print out booklets properly, this will be incredibly useful and stop me from misprinting everything like I initially did.
