DUE WEEK 9

Good work this week. Keep pushing yourselves: there's a lot of work ahead.

FOR NEXT WEEK:

GRIDS: 2 variations on one format
-Include body copy, folios and chapter heads

LOGOS: refinements if you have a solid direction
-5 options if you are undecided on the name or form / POST HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE FEEDBACK, so you can move ahead more decisively for next week

ARTIST STATEMENT: revisions

TABLE OF CONTENTS: the structure of the book
-This functions as a blueprint for your book content, rather than the design.
-Related to book structure and content typologies



Thumbnail view of book.


BOOK DUMMIES:
-Most of you choose a format today. Use this to build book dummies, cut and folded, to scale.
-Bring 10 spreads, in sequence (with pagination). This should also include two chapters so that we can see the transition structure between them.

INDESIGN NOTES: Remember to fit your guides to "margin" rather than to "page"
It is recommended that you set up rows in addition to columns.

View everything from the perspective of the reader. Is the line length comfortable?



Remember, your project is directly related to format, but echo the piece through design without the book literally being the piece.

The catalogue content is comprised of the work you have already generated.


Think about the kind of binding you want to do: this will impact your grids and margins.
Think about paper types: coated vs. uncoated, dividing your sections by color and texture.
Think about printing methods and color.

The process book is separate and it is not designed. It is comprised of all of your existing printed tabloid research sheets french folded and bound together. There should be section dividers for the content.
