For the publication I wanted to have a section of 'profiles' for individuals who are heavily modified/well known for their body mods. i.e Zombie Boy. I wanted this to be separate from the rest of the research in the publication. I thought about the colour scheme, and thought it would stand out if these pages were red. Instead of printing red ink onto the pages, red stock would have a more professional finish, and be easy to print on alongside the plain white stock for the rest of the booklet. Due to experience with printing ink as the background on publication spreads, I have found that this tends to crack especially when folded.
As for the cover, I wanted there to be many layers before opening to the content. To achieve this, the publication will have a protective dust jacket with the title printed on, and under this will be the same red stock in the middle of the book, to again increase professionality and consistency. The red relates to the title of the publication, 'flesh and bone', as red is a colour commonly associated with the inside of the body. White stock represents the bone, red represents the flesh.
