Is it a bad idea to use chicago screws to bind a book that is five inches thick?

Posted by admin on January 26th, 2010 and filed under Chicago | 1 Comment »

I am building my portfolio for graphic design and I am considering using the chicago screw bookbinding technique. I have enough pages to fill a five inch binder. Is it possible to use the chicago screws to bind it and still be able to easily turn the pages?
I am sure everyone will end up bring in 3 ring binders. I want mine to stand out. That’s why I am interested in the chicago screws.
It is for my end of year sophomore review at school. It’s for a scholarship.

It will be tougher to flip through than with a ring binder.

With this sort of presentation, it is crucial that it looks professional. What method do other people use? If you are just beginning in the field, it would might be a bad idea to be too ‘out there’.

How many hospitals are in Chicago and which ones are the best ones? I will soon be an RN and want to work in a good hospital in the Chicago area. I have never been to Chicago so I do not know what it is like there, where I will live, or how far away my workplace would be. What are your experiences with the chicago hospitals?

There are 215 hospitals in Chicago. Northwestern Hospital and the University of Chicago Hospital are both very nice, but I think you would like being a nurse at Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital. It is in a relatively safe neighborhood on the north side of the city and it is a teaching hospital.

About The Blue Shoe Project:

Students Should Experience the Blues – The Blue Shoe Project was founded to keep the blues alive by exposing students to the few blues legends still alive and able to pass on their legacy in person by teaching students about the profound impact of the blues on our music history.

The Legends of the Blues and those influenced by it are aging or passing and with it their rich history and culture. These legendary figures made a profound impact on American Music and our society and students at all levels should know it, be proud of it and experience it. One of the ways we accomplish this objective is to bring Artists into the classroom for students to experience living history. Whether an industry legend, or a practicing Artist of the Blues, our Education Programs provide students a true appreciation for and a valuable understanding of the history, style, and impact of the Blues, even an opportunity to “play the Blues”.

The Blue Shoe Project tailors the delivery of blues education to elementary through college students. Programs feature professional, and in some cases “legendary” musicians who are passionate about sharing their extraordinary talent and telling their inspiring stories to students of all ages.

Blues is America’s Gift to the World – As a country, there is one thing we have undeniably given the world that no other culture can lay claim to, our music. Blues music. Travel outside the US and its Blues they idolize. From the UK to Japan, to South America, Blues above all is the music of all music.

One of the reasons Blue Shoe is so passionate about educating Texas students about the blues is the role Texas played in the evolution of blues. Texas was the birthplace of some of the most legendary and influential figures in music history, let alone blues history, including Blind Lemon Jefferson ,T-Bone Walker, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Freddie King, to name just a few from a very long list of Texan blues greats. Add the fact that a significant portion of rock-n-roll artists from the ’50s through the ’70s looked to Texas blues artists for their inspiration. Given this rich history, Blue Shoe believes that Texas should be taking its rightful place by promoting its blues heritage, starting in our schools.
