Type in Context - Indesign Layout

In this blog, I have done some Indesign layouts for the Type in context publication brief  Again, I have followed my layout sketches for where the images and texts with be place. 

Numerous of pictures on each page
Within these layout designs there will be some whihc will be more photography based. Some will have a little bit of text or context to explain the photos and another may has some directional guidance as that maybe the function of the publication. To locate the users to their chosen destinations. 

Below are some screenshots of four different ways that I am going to layout my publication: 


Square & circle themed

Less pictures but more bigger space for the photography

Less amount of space for the photography, but the square/rectangle are consistent



InDesign Layouts and Photographs





Grids

By making my publication more accurate in designs terms, I was informed to use a grid. This will make my photo have more precision within the publication. However, my tutor advise me that my photos that I previously layout were very scattered. This scattered layout would be allowed, however there must be a reason behind this. 

If I was not using the grids and did my placing in a freestyle matter. My reasoning will be that, my publication is many a photographic book which is used only in coffee shops etc. The cause of this particular disperse layout is to only show the contrast between rural typography from two different countries (England & Switzerland). It could also be a scrapbook concept a collection of how rural typography signages has not modify or altered in the many past years.

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.

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.)
