Fine and Applied Arts Final Year Topic: Printed Artist Books and the Rhythm of Page Turning

This Fine and Applied Arts final year project investigates how page size, opacity and sequence organise an artist book's reading rhythm. The proposed evidence comes from original hand-bound prototypes and consented adult viewing notes, with the study limited to an agreed, feasible corpus or production setting.

Why choose this project topic?

The focus on how page size, opacity and sequence organise an artist book's reading rhythm connects a specific creative or cultural problem to evidence you can document. Using original hand-bound prototypes and consented adult viewing notes keeps the work concrete and gives you a basis for comparing alternatives rather than relying only on personal preference.

What can the proposed study establish about how page size, opacity and sequence organise an artist book's reading rhythm?

Choose the specific corpus, venue or creative materials and agree the evaluation criteria for how page size, opacity and sequence organise an artist book's reading rhythm before starting.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the criteria needed to investigate how page size, opacity and sequence organise an artist book's reading rhythm.
  2. 02Document a bounded evidence set using original hand-bound prototypes and consented adult viewing notes.
  3. 03Compare reveal, repetition and pause across documented book structures.

A suggested research approach

Confirm access, permissions and a manageable scope for original hand-bound prototypes and consented adult viewing notes. Compare reveal, repetition and pause across documented book structures. Keep dated process notes and distinguish observations from interpretation. Obtain required approvals before involving people, venues or protected material; record unsuccessful trials as well as successful examples.

What you will need

  • Authorised access to original hand-bound prototypes and consented adult viewing notes
  • A documentation and analysis plan for how page size, opacity and sequence organise an artist book's reading rhythm
  • Relevant equipment or editions, attribution records and required participant or site permissions

Keep your project scope clear

The report cannot replace the physical artefact or establish every reader's experience.
