Fabrication
Getting your design project made up to your standard can be just as hard as designing it. But don't worry, there are ways you can produce a prototype of your projects without going broke in the process, you just have to know where to look.
Bookbinding
Bookbinding is normally done professionally for mass-produced books. However, it is possible to make a copy or two of your personally designed book.

Professional designers are not limited to just one or two paper choices, so why should students be?
Warning: There is a great chance that you eventually cut your finger with an X-Acto knife.
