WHAT IS DESIGN FOR PRINT?//MANUAL MOCK UP//OUGD504

PRINT MANUAL MOCK UP:
I decided to print off my print manual in black and white on standard stock to see howthe layout and format looks printed.  I rang the book binding department at Vernon St. and they suggested the best type of binding for my book, being sixty pages, would be Japanese stab stitch.  I printed my A5 book on A4 double sided.
Im happy with the way the mock up has turned out, I think the size of the book works well for what it is.
 I now need to decide on how to get it printed and what stock would work best taking into consideration colour scheme etc.  
 I have produced a sticker that can be put on the front cover, I want the front cover to be a plain colour and the words 'print manual' to be embossed onto it, I think black card would work well.

WHAT IS DESIGN FOR PRINT?//FINAL SPREADS OF BOOK//OUGD504

FINAL PAGES
These are the final pages of my book:

WHAT IS DESIGN FOR PRINT?//LAYOUT DEVELOPMENT//OUGD504

DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE BOOK:
This is the image that I have made for the front cover, I made this after the book was finished using illustrations from different sections of the book to create a pattern of various print/format/binding/stock illustrations.

These are pages that I cam beck and designed after I had sorted out other sections of the book, this is the contents page, on the left side of the spread is a logo I designed for my print manual.  For the hard copy of the manual I would like the type 'Printing Manual' to be embossed/debossed onto a plain piece of card and to have the logo printed out as a sticker that goes on the front cover:
I was aware that I would have to incorporate some colour in my colour model section of the book even though it wouldn't be as consistent as my colour scheme, for the pantone colour matching system page I managed to use a low opacity of the consistent orange seen throughout the book.
 To allow my colour scheme to work I changed some of the photographs to greyscale
CMYK is shown on this page:
FORMATS:
Photographs I found off the internet and changed to greyscale in photoshop:
After certain sections of the print process chapter I have grey scaled some images I found off the internet of the process and put them in after the page showing the diagram and description.
This is a page of photographs I have taken whilst looking at different stock samples, these are the only photographs I've kept in colour because I think its easier to see the types of stock when its not in black and white:
