FURTHER FORMAT EXAMPLES - RELATING TO MY TOPIC
I have decided to research five more formats but look at them from a more specific and personal point of view as to how I could make them fit in with my ideas for, 'what is good.'
For this brief I want to look at publication design, and creating a range of different publications that could work as a set. I want to look into different ways of how publications can be displayed through different design formats.
PUBLICATION DESIGN
I have decided to research five more formats but look at them from a more specific and personal point of view as to how I could make them fit in with my ideas for, 'what is good.'
For this brief I want to look at publication design, and creating a range of different publications that could work as a set. I want to look into different ways of how publications can be displayed through different design formats.
PUBLICATION DESIGN
I think this looks good, clean cut, nothing too over complicated with the design. I like the embossing of the logo, this gives it a professional touch. The design of the publication is simple, it looks as though it works as a folder, this is something I could consider when making my 'exhibition of.' Somewhere to enclose information and bring it all together neatly rather than loose designs. The basic design works with it being hole punched on the right hand side, the centre of the margin. Then string is tied to keep it in place.
I think this is quite a simple design in terms of process, its simply string tied around the the publication to keep it in place. I think this could work well if i made a set of three small publications and tied them all together in this way. This could work well within my design as my topic is an exhibition of Paris, and therefore has aspects of travel in it which I think could reflect this style where the string is wrapped around to bound the publications together .
I think the design could work quite well, especially bearing in mins my title is 'An exhibition of Paris.' I think it would look quite nice to have the range of products sealed in a plastic sheet to keep it pristine. i could print onto the cover to give it a professional finish.
This is something that, if I used a suited stock, could make the overall design look well executed. The wooden sleeve has been made to slot the book/s in perfectly. This is something I'd consider if I was going to make two or three small publications, as the idea of a case to keep them all together would appeal to me. The front of the case has also been laser cut with the initials of the book on. This is something that could work well if I found something iconic or recognisable, i.e the Eiffel Tower.
This seems fairly easy in terms of production methods, something simple which can hold the publications together. This is something I'd definitely consider if I was going to make more than one publication for the project.
Laser cut publication sleeve. Production methods would be done on a laser cutter, in terms of durability it looks as though its fairly delicate, depending on what stock you use, however. I think this could look good with some of the architecture around Paris, as it would create some interesting lines, which would be done easily enough but look professional.
BINDING TECHNIQUES
Perfect bound is a tidy way of assembling a book in a professional manner, this is something I want to try and do in this project by giving myself enough time to do the process. In the industry a machine would produce these to save time, however if i were to pursue this I'd have to book a book binding session to be able to know exactly what to do. I think this is a method that would need to be planned carefully time wise. It is done by gluing the spine edge with PVA. In terms of durability I think its definitely something made to last.
Japanese stab stitch is a method I tried in the previous module. I found it a useful technique because it was easy to pick up. It doesn't look as professional as perfect bound, there is definitely a hand made craft feel to it. In terms of durability I think it holds the pages together quite well but could be quite easily susceptible to some damage as its held together wit thread or string. In the industry this is something that is done by hand, the same as I would have to do in a studio environment. As I have done this technique before it would be the easiest option and the least time consuming due to prior experience.
This is something I'm interested in that I haven't tried before, in some ways it looks similar to the Japanese stab stitch. This looks very hand crafted as well. I think it'll be stronger in terms of durability in comparison to the Japanese stab stitch, probably because most examples I've seen are encased in a hard cover. This is something that is hand crafted in the industry and that I would have to put time aside to pick up the techniques in order for it to be a success.
This seems fairly durable as it has a sturdy bind, its done by placing an adhesive strip and placed into a machine to heat the adhesive adding pressure to seal it. This is something I would like to try as I think the end product looks quite professional, however for this specific brief, with what I have in mind, I would choose another binding method.
This is something I think would fit best for my idea for this project, this is the most suited to the publication I had in mind. It seems quite durable, not as much as perfect bound, but more so than Japanese Stab stitch, just because the stitching looks closer and tighter. In the industry an industrial type sewing machine would be used to create this type of binding, however, I will have to attend a book binding session in order to pick up the technique.
