All of my finished products were completed in the final week. Due to the difficulty of scheduling appointments with various school departments at this stage, and sometimes the challenge of walk-ins, the waiting times were very anxiety-inducing, even to the point of tears. Finally, on Thursday morning, I waited at the door of the printing room before it opened, and I managed to complete the printing in the morning. After printing the booklet and cards, with the help of a technician in the print finishing department, I completed the cutting. I did the embossing myself.

In a previous tutorial, my mentor suggested changing the binding method from saddle stitching to sew binding, as it better conveys the soft and caring essence of my theme. So, I went to the book art department to learn sew binding, where I encountered a very enthusiastic fellow student who taught me how to tie the thread.

I bound the booklet.

Due to the limited length that could be cut, I laid out the designed receipts on A0-sized paper. After printing and cutting, I pasted them together.

Before this, I was unaware that cards also needed bleed, and there was an oversight in the design where the front and back sides were not perfectly aligned. This caused some deviation when the technician, Will, cut them. However, he said it was his fault and took me to the printing room to reprint after I corrected the file and added bleed lines. I was truly touched, and it brought a lot of comfort to the high-pressure state I had been in for the past few days.

I rounded the corners of the cut cards.
