#fanfic binding

bang. by IHadHimOnTheRopes (CarterReid)

after 9 months obsessing about bookbinding, watching hours of youtube videos and hundreds of talented fellow binders on tumblr… my time has finally come!

(actually i bound 2 little projects before this one but not fanfiction. and what i wanted above all was bind fanfiction.)

so I spent 3 weeks on the typeset in june and now that im home i printed it!! folded the signatures and pressed them with a bunch of books

Avengers - Carrier by just_another_tinker

I originally wanted to do an image of a fancy hospital room or a cute vintage jacket with a more simplistic design however I struggled to find one I liked. I did play around with some images of 3 men or versions of the 3 characters but did not like the way it was going so I scrapped it all. In the first version, I placed a simple hospital room photo that I messed around with and added the info for. I still wasn't super happy with it so I decided to scrap that to potentially use somewhere else in the bind and start over. I found a photo of the actor in a jacket and made it look like a polaroid of him with the title/author. Then in the back I added a bunch of random medical scans, test results and an image of Tony’s shield file with drop shadows. For the back I made a ‘medical sheet’ with information from the fanfic. Version 2 cover took me 16 minutes to create.

tagged by @missmoonfrost and @brandileigh2003, thank you both!! every time i’m tagged in one of these i think i probably don’t have enough photos to be any fun and every time i end up having more than tumblr allows and actually have to narrow it down 😂

Batman - Bats Stole the Justice Leagues Brain Cells - Version 1 & 2

Bouncing Baby Bat, or so the Justice League is led to believe... by EmpressGeek

For his cover, I had already had a flash to a cover from Rosemarys baby which was 2 colours with the figure of Rosemary with a pram with a devil tail. I looked up the different covers from the book and decided to look for a photo of an older style pram. I placed that in the bottom centre and looked for a good spooky batman figure to place behind it. I added some shadows so it was more of a rising batman figure. I added a robin to the top of the buggy and matched the title colour with the robins breast and a white loopy author name. The back was simple with the two font types used to show the summary.  

For the second version, I copied over an image from an older Rosemary's baby cover and cut out the devil baby image to copy the concept of the cover. I placed a side profile of Batman and I gave him a pregnant belly with some texture and the baby over the top. I gave the baby a Robin mask but also a version without. I did add a little robin to sit on the title though not sure if I like it more with or without it.  The two covers took 30 minutes to make together.
