Studio Brief 02 - What is a Book? - Self Evaluation

In conclusion, I believe I have done well during this module of creating and producing publications. This has been very successful due to the previous brief of the small publication really helped me get a proper understanding on what size, shape would be suitable for a book with a certain amount of information and images which I wish to put in a book.

Along the way during many development and experimental work,I have definitely learned a lot of new binding techniques and different ways of laying out pages for my book. The the headings, paragraphs and images. Nevertheless, I have been through a lot of trial and error during these book making process and has sometimes been successful and some have not. Hopefully during more of the course I will be able to do more work like this, as it was enjoyable to do. Due to it being very personal project brief to create.

However, due to these technical problems I believe it was quite a down fall due as it wasted valuable time and slowed me down a significant amount of time, for me to get the blogs and design boards properly done than rushing it all in last minute.

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Publication Layout design - Leah | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

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...

Study Task 08 - Typesetting

In this session, we had to look into the re-typeset of Lewis Carroll's - A Mouses Tale using a postmodern approach and a modernist approach. Lewis Carroll's - A Mouses Tale Original The Mouse's Tale by Lewis Carroll "Mine is a long and a sad tale!" said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. "It is a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; "but why do you call it sad?" And she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was something like this:— Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, “Let us both go to law: I will prosecute you.” Come, I'll take no denial, We must have a trial, For really this morning I've nothing to do. Said the mouse to the cur, “Such a trial, dear sir, With no jury or judge, would be wasting our breath.” “I’ll be judge, I'll be jury”Said cunning old Fury; “I’ll try the...

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Second Development

In this blog, I have finish printing out the physical small publication book of Design Principles. I believe this second development work was successful as the colours of the type has been nicely and evenly printed out.The information on the pages are arranged properly in the right order as to the the one on the Macbook. However, I need to chose a different type of paper stock which is much sturdier, e.g - card stock. As when I put the rubber band around the spine of the book it curls. Even though the visuals of the book is very minimalistic and simple I believe this is appropriate to the audience who would read this kind of book context. Especially, for young students who want to learn the right knowledge and information of design principles, whilst becoming a Graphic Designer. For the colour scheme I went for a very neutral yet colourful scheme, as these colours only outline the significant factors of Design...
