OUGD504 Studio Brief 03 - Binding Decision

It was now that time to decide which method of binding from my research that I will take forward in to the final binding of my finished publication and so I will evaluate each option and come up with a rationale on why one of the methods will be best to take forward.
The first of these is the perfect bound book, I don't believe that this is the best binding method to take forward in to the next stage of the binding as it has a major flaw when not done correctly and the glue falls apart and this is something I can not really risk happening as I have had very little practice with perfect binding and therefore won't be anywhere near skills enough at this. It also has another massive set back as the fact that I am creating a free guide to Leeds that would be give out, or charged a very small price for means that this binding method perfect binding would take far too much time for me to complete each guide created and therefore would be massively time consuming and not very financially efficient making this option not viable to take forward to the final design stage.
Similarly to the last method mentioned coptic banding is yet another binding method of which would consume far too much time when trying to mass recreate something to give out for free meaning the production stage and effort would have a massive emphasis to then give the bound book away for no money as a total waste of time and money making this method also not viable at all for my desirable outcome.
This leaves me the final method of binding, pamphlet stitch of which due to its simple nature and relatively costless production cost would be perfect of the decision for ho to bind the free art directed guides to leeds that I would give out. Although as i already ahem experience with this method of binding s I have done it before instead I will find a way to incorporate a slightly more advanced style of pamphlet stitch to ensure the production stage is still as simple as possible but while doing that actually looks somewhat more professional than a normal pamphlet stitch.
