Studio Brief 04 - Reflective Practice - Speaking from Experience: Binding final design

In this portrays me finalising and putting together my completed guide/tip book for new first years. 

Here are some images of the printing process of my guide/tip book for first years. 

Overall, it went well. I used a ink printer to print my pages and front and back covers of my guide/tip book. However, the pages could not print out double sided due to the size of paper I printed it with. As the size of the book is longer than a size A4. This meant I had to stick together the pages back to back to make it look like it printed double sided. Also I put the cutting points for the rubber band in the wrong place this meant I had to place it right on the card stock I wanted to printed it out in for the finish product. 

Lucky I did this test on normal cartridge paper than the actually card stock. From the looks of it the colour came out very well and there are no mistakes within the guide/tip book, meaning the card will be printed nicely to.

Again I have used a rubber binding method of putting it together as it simple and easy to do. It also looks quite professional yet casual for the type of audience it is supposed to sell to. With the rubber band binding, I believe it can become a quite personal kind of guide/tip book as the reader can change whatever colour they would like to put any colour elastic/ 
rubber band for it.The card I used for it to print on is very good and sturdy as the paper does not fold in within the elastic band.

First 10 images are the trial print with cartridge paper and constructing it together. The front title of the book was covered by the elastic band binding so, I had to change the design so the wording will be shifted slightly. To get the desired shape I had to cut them with a craft knife with a cutting mat. And using a metal ruler to get a neat and sharp cut.

















These last images are the one on the card stock and my finalised book pieced and completed altogether.

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...

Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money | History of Money & Banknotes Research

Money History The word money comes from the Latin 'Moneta' - which is the first Roman coinage that was minted at the temple of Juno Moneta in 344BC. Before coinage, various objects such as cattle, pig's teeth and shells had been used as money. For most of its history money has taken the form of coins made of precious metal. The money has had intrinsic value. Many of the units of modern money recall their origin in amounts of precious metal (e.g the pound sterling was originally the Roman pound (twelves ounces) of silver.) The Beginning of Banking in Britain In Great Britain, the modern age of banking began in 1640 when King Charles I, needed cash to pay the (English) army that he was raising against Scotland ( of which he was also King.)to seized the golf bullion that many merchants and nobles had placed in the Tower of London for safe-keeping.
