Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS

In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page. 

The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical). 

To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally. 

The size of the publication that I will try to test with, will either be A4 or A3.

The type of binding that I will experiment will be the following Coptic binding, saddle stitch and section sewn. This will be shown through mock ups that I will produce and see which one is most appropriate for the publication. 









For the type of cover I want for my publication, I want to try and create a wood bound hard cover. As my publication is based on a theme of rural and countryside guide book, I believe it would be best to create my hard cover for my publication this way. By this I can also emboss the wood, thus giving it a very traditional look. Nevertheless, this type of method of producing this will be quite difficult or challenging in a commercial method. I will do a mock up of this to see how long this process will be, if it is longer than I expected. I may need to change this to a quicker method. 





The type of typeface will be a combination of serif and sans serif fonts. To highlight how rural typography has not change and still has it traditional style. This is also strengthened by other rural places in different countries, e.g. Switzerland vs The Lake District (England). Both are very scenery and countryside locations, but still has the same style, therefore making rural typography signage a widely international design. 








Looking into G.F SMITH Paper

During the session, I had a chance to look at the G.F SMITH paper book to see which type of paper would be appropriate to print my photo on. My publication is going to be quite professional, therefore I want high quality white glossy paper to bring out the rural colours of the photos that I collected during the summer. The type of paper that I will use, will either be...

The following type of paper samples that I will get from G.F SMITH: 
>Heaven 42: Soft Matt - 170 
>Heaven 42: Soft Matt - 250 
>Heaven 42: Soft Matt - 300 
>Heaven 42: Soft Matt - 400
>Accent Antique: Magnolia - 300

Type in Context - Final Indesign Layout

After the trial and error of printing the pages with my first intial scrapbook concept. I decide to change the layout of my  pages as the first layout was difficult to work with when adding text.   Instead I did a layout like this (images are below) the text and photographs are in more of a consistent and organised scale. My peers gave me advice on what text to put within my publication pages, they said facts and figures will be interesting as it will relate to the photographs. Because of adding more photographs/text to the pages of the publication, I therefore had to add more pages. So in the end, there was about 30 pages in my publication. Overall, the images on the Indesign preview look decent and I will print this out within the Digital Print room’s paper stock. 

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final  submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really  portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism  of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this  is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it  highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different  shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star  which has broken the heart...
