Abstract

The starting point of this research work is the need to create a unique product, a book with a collectible character, attempting to combine the modern digital age with the traditional art and technique of bookbinding and to highlight its timeless course. The book is the most essential form of printed communication. The invention and evolution of the art of typography has been a driving force for the transmission of knowledge and experience and the expansion of intellectual cultivation. Science and art, ideas, positions and emotions, become known through the written word. The present research analyzes the design parameters and production specifications of the book Quantum Leap with the combination of new technologies and traditional techniques. The first stage of design concerns the choice of the size of the form and the choice of the type and size of the paper, the layout of the text based on the principles of typographic design, the technical specifications of the edition and the standard industrial paper sizes. The pre-printing stage includes all the necessary edits required to achieve high quality printing, such as word processing and the creation of the final product for printing. Modern technology gives way to the traditional printing technique with the method of silkscreen printing to create the book cover and pave the way for the art of bookbinding.
