As part of my content consideration I wanted to use a binding method that showed the handmade approach and added a more 'organic' overall aesthetic. For the small information booklet a pamphlet stitch is the most appropriate method of binding and then for the catalogue a Japanese bind because stitch is exposed which is a nice aesthetic or the catalogue. This method of binding is also secure for the pages in comparison to a perfect bind which runs the risk of the pages falling out if the glue doesn't bind them accurately.

Japanese binding tutorial
I decided that a 3 hole Japanese bind would be the best option because the publication is not very big, so it looks better than a 4 hole or more.
I found some online tutorials for Japanese binding to recap myself on exactly what order to do the stitching. The images to show the process were fun and made it very easy to follow.
