For my final outcome, I have decided to produce a photo book with COVID still effecting larger social events. I will also be creating an online gallery where my work will be viewed and accessed freely by the audience.
I have looked into making my Coptic Stitch book, but I do not feel that I have left my self enough time to do that, So I will find a printer to provide my book for me, but fear I will not have much control the spread options and layouts.
Some of the printers I have looked at so far are
I was not impressed with Papier. I felt it was very limited and did not allow me to have too much control over my layout.
Smartpress allows for the flexibility over layout and page count, but the price was a little more than I wanted. But as I would get 10-15 books in one order, this is still an option, and I would have a stock of my books, instead of making to order.
Artifact Uprising is a happy medium. The style and quality of the books are the closest to what I want to produce, and they have flexible layout options. The price point is a little higher than I want, but I happy to consider them still.
