Book Covers

So, once the book has been bound and trimmed down it looks like this. Notice that both images appear to kiss the edge of the finished sheet. That’s because we made sure they BLED off the edge so that when guillotined down, the knife cut right through some of the printed area. Had we not done this then several of the books would have ended up with white edges showing next to the photos. We learned the reason for that when we read the flip book about BLEED . Some images just aren’t suitable for BLEEDING right up to the edge. For example, notice how the dog on the back cover has lost the top of his head and some of his flowers have been chopped off too. Always, consider this when chosing an image to BLEED . Make sure that there isn’t anything important that could get chopped off.
