406 Studio Brief 4 - Speaking From Experience - Content/Dedication Page

Content Page 

Since this is an advice book from first years to new student on how to survive the hangover of freshers week the aim is to show the first year a collection of different ways as a class we have avoided hangover. How our class and our year avoid them so they have a collection of different opinions to help them, as hangover effect everyone differently the aim is that one of these cures will help and they can test them to see which. To introduces the aim of the book need to be a content page that explains this, simply gives the quotes a meaning and explains the purpose to the audience. To do this the page needs to fit with the current design style and be brief as not to overcomplicate, it need to fit with the tone of voice of the book (happy, positive, calming, funny, lighthearted, helpful).

Development 


use of din as same as cover but in lowercase to seem less demanding that the cover, to make sure its not seen as a another cover but doesn't fit evenly on two lines in the grids 


test the same as cover but smaller, to have the same house style but not as dramatic 


handdrawn text produced over the same typeface as the cover hand render text, to give this hand render style still similar bowels and text features/font type but with a personal light hearted touch,
this will be done for all the hand render text. Over myriad pro text, smaller than cover again.


with the personal flicks this type isn't very readable at this size, it seem to thick and the letter forms run into each other, needs more defining. 

moved on different lines to make bigger so the text is more readable and matches the first text, demands too much attention due to bigger that first line text

reads better as one line underneath as seem more like one sentence, groups line better 

redone handwritten text to remove the d and unreadble last a, this form is more readable at this size


trying to appear more as a dedication by including a from us form but style doesn't fit as created separately to other letterform


text experiments of the phrasing 


bottom line too big

bottom line not centred
