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

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...
