Study Task 01 - How Do You Read? - Colour Theory

In todays session we learnt about and how to identify colours, todays task we were put into groups of 3/4. In these groups we needed to consider how colour is most often used for the covers of fiction books from different genre. We had to only choice only 4 given genres from the list below and using the Pantone colour guides to help to find the dominant colour (or maybe a background colour or title colour) for each genre. This must be in our blogs and this includes the following:
  • That it would represent a typical cover colour choice
  • That it considers to be a less conformist yet interesting option
Friction Genre:
  • Chick Lit
  • Crime 
  • Fairy Tale 
  • Fantasy 
  • Historical Fiction 
  • Horror 
  • Humour
  • Mystery
  • Romance
  • Science Friction
  • Thriller
  • Western 
  • Young Adult 
The ones that my group selected were: Historical Fiction, Romance, Science Fiction and Fairy Tale.

 Historical Fiction - Colours 
For the Historical Friction colours, my group went with the solid uncoated swatches.

  • The general colour would be Pantone 872 U.
  • The alternative colour would be Pantone 8021 U.

 Romance - Colours

For the Romance colours, my group went with the solid coated swatches.
  • The general colour would be Pantone 234 C.
  • The alternative colour would be Pantone 252 C.



Science Friction - Colours 

For the Science Friction colours, my group decided to go with the solid coated swatches.
  • The general colour would be Pantone 3135 C.
  • The alternative colour would be Pantone 394 C.



Fairy Tale - Colours


For the Fairy Tale colours, we decided in the group that we wanted one solid uncoated and one solid coated swatches.

  • The general colour would be Pantone 215 U.
  • The alternative colour would be Pantone 214 C.

Publication Layout - Leah For the inside of the 'Our Generation' publication, the collaborator Leah was in charge of this  brief's outcome segment. The publication's layout was constructed with 'Adobe Indesign' Leah made guide lines and measurements to help assist where the Photographs and the text should be placed. Illustrations of a paint brush stroke was experimented to give the pages more characteristics. We mutually agreed to make the size of the publication A5 format, and the number of pages are 16. Previously it was going to be 17, however one participant was unable to provided us with their childhood photo for us. Due to this situation Leah had to be more selective with the photos and information (Quotes) that we believe was significant for outlining our briefs context.  Below are some images of this layout format: Participant page order by names: Katie Sung  Leah Chen  Jackie Wan Tracey Lau Eliza Mo Kylie Lee Lewis Capper...

Feedback from Tutor of Publication After  receiving  feedback from my tutor, he informed me to use grids within arranging my layout of my publication pages. This will keep my images and text in a consistent manner, thus making it visually professional. To achieve this precise layout, I will research on Jan Tschichold Grid System.
