Photo Album Design

The most crucial function of the spine is to provide a place to bind the pages together. Yet no spine or book is simply a block of paper.

“That part of a book which is visible as it stands closed on the shelf; not uncommonly called in antiquarian parlance the backstrip, and sometimes called the back.” — ABC for Book Collectors

This is a special artist book( photo album) design. Usually the spine provides a place for the title and author to be displayed so the book can be easily identified. I treated the book spine as a special space for design and cut them in different shapes and added color/texture.
