Brief 0 - Final publication

When I booked out the photography studio last week, I thought it would be fitting to photography my context publication — this would also allow me to show the final resolution to the designers that offered help with the content.

Brief 0 - Binding (early stages)

After receiving the GFSmith stock from Amber, I set about binding my context publication with a proposed ® stamp. I had my text block already cut to size (for binding) and simply needed to ensure the covers were the same size. I left the spine open to account for the buckram, as shown below —

Brief 0 - Layout development

As I have pretty much got the main content finalised, I started to work on the contents and about page using a similar aesthetic (in terms of type) as the other pages.

I need to print what I've got so far out, check the readability, type setting, quality of images, grammar etc to ensure it's all correct. I then need to work on the other pages (work mentioned by the designers who responded will probably feature at the back) along with the contents and a brief insight into the publication itself.

I also looked at using a different font called Karla — a contemporary, sans-serif typeface with extended tracking as default. Unsure as to whether to use this or Lato, the font I used on the online questionnaire.
