Type in Context - Final Pyrography Design

Finally, when I was able to get adjusted with the pryography pen, I was then able to start drawing over the design with pryography pen. Overall, the results turned out well, from the images below I was able to get the right amount of pressure to the wood to make a nice texture. Also the stencil that came with the pryography pen, was helpful as I was able to keep a nice and even consistency with the thickest and size.

For the front cover design, I drew and outline a way finding icon of signs then added with the stencil "Rural Typography" which is the name of my publication. 

Then I added for the back cover of the publication a compass symbol, as it relates to the concept of the rural typography signage. 

Then I used sand paper to sand down the edges of the A4 wood, I did this so the publication will have no sharp edges of hurt anyone whilst reading it. 

Inside the of the A4 wooden sheets, I stuck some grey board and covered it with a burgundy red colour smooth paper. This will then give a more professional appearance to the publication. I glued these with super glue so it will firmly stay on and be durable.

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.

Jan Tschichold - Grids

Feedback from Tutor of Publication After  receiving  feedback from my tutor, he informed me to use grids within arranging my layout of my publication pages. This will keep my images and text in a consistent manner, thus making it visually professional. To achieve this precise layout, I will research on Jan Tschichold Grid System.
