Type in Context - Final Design of Publication

In conclusion, the publication results was produced well. There were only minor trials and errors during the, design production when laying out the pages in Indesign, printing the pages without any missing pages or images being cut off, redesigning the layout due to a change of context/concept and using the pyrography pen was challenging.

However, I was able to surpass these obstacle and fix them quite swiftly. Overall, the physical produce looks very professional, I am happy with the results if the quality of the pages as the colours came out well, text is clear and understandable to read and the hard cover is simple yet attractive enough for the target audience that it was set to.

The commerical production time of this publication took quite some time as to get a good and rounded concept/context. But the actaul production of making the publication was relatively in a good pace and more likely to be much quicker. As my time took a little bit longer due to waiting for the pryography equipment to arrive, then practice with it and waiting for the A4 wood sheets to arrive.

Nevertheless, I am very happy with the results of my publication. The finish product was what I was expecting it to be, I could of made it more professional if I had more excess to other equipment which might of made my commercial production slightly quicker.

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...

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...
