cover -
For this brief there has been many different design features, style and software that are new too me but over all the product has been produced to a to a good final resolution. There are a still a few issues with the final outcome that would be changed if i had time, these are that a few of the pages have the ends cut off as i didn't take binding width into account when layout out the pages. Also the content pages i to accurate as i forgot to change it when i had to change the order of the pages for the cover colour change, these issues should be fixed and remember for the text time i produce a book. This is the second book i have produced and the first that involves a form of gird system, this has shown be the practical use of grid and how they can enhance the organisation of page by seeing basic for every page, it has shown me how this give the pages a feel of associated and make the book easier for the read to read as it flows easier. This brief has taught me a lot about minimalism and modernist style which was an aim when i started this brief, this book is completely different to anything else i have ever made and even though its not perfect i’m happy with the way the outcome has worked over all as i feel the layout complaints the content and give the pages a balanced design. This book combines hand drawn imagery with digital text to balance out the different decorative nature of the style, using both highlight the difference as it is compared to each other which makes the element of the pages seem more dramatic but also as the style complete each other it give more harmony to the page whilst intrigues the audeince. The final stock choice for the design was picked to work best for the case as it needed to be thin but not so thin that the ink leaked thought the other side of the page obstructing the view of the other side of the page. If if was to do this project again i would experiment more with different typeface, as even though this type was picked for aesthetic and functional purposes i feel that might be another typeface that could suit the imagery better, a smaller x-height or thinner text style.

content not contents
wrong order since layout has been changed for black cover
Double Page Spreads
when cutting down the pages to make the book even some of the pages become smaller, i should have taken this in account when producing the layout of the pages, hasn't effected any of the text so its still readable but it means the margins aren't even on all the pages
