THE HOUSE OF GLAM – Die Gestalten
The specimen case I brought to you attention is peculiar because of the blocking. The blocking partially stretches on the case linen, as well as on a sticker applied on a debossed area. The execution had to be handled carefully because of the different levels (debossing, sticker and blocking) so that there is continuity and homogeneity, especially in the gap between the debossed area and the rest of the board.
We chose to proceed as follows:
- Application of the linen
- Debossing of the area for the sticker
- Application of the label
- Blocking
The customer was really pleased with the result:
TASCHEN 40th ANNIVERSARY SERIES – Taschen Verlag
Peculiar is the back endpaper wrapping around the book block, hiding the foredge and creating the optical illusion of an ‘object’ rather than a book. This illusion is emphasized by the glossy spot UV band on the back endpaper in correspondence of the foredge, simulating another square back. In order to obtain this result the back endpaper must be glued with utmost precision and the scoring at the sides of the spot UV band has to be very accurate.
