Foil Blocking

I have been trying to decide what to do to the front cover of my books and have finally settled on foil blocking. On book I have made in the past I have made dust covers, which I think if not done really well cheapen a book and also screen printed onto the buckram. The screen printing didn't work well last time and is a bit of a lengthy process that I am not really interested in doing again. Foil blocking seemed like the logical choice as it would provide me with a professional finish that I won't have to do myself. I only want the title of the books and my name, positioned centrally on the cover, so screen printing seemed like a lot of extra work for very little gain. Foil blocking will also stand out a bit more if I decide to go for a gold finish. The only downside is that the place I have found to do it are closed all this week so I will not have it done for submission but I can get it done before the exhibition, which is what really matters.
