Type Module - Session 10

The not so experimental layout: All the layout key points I can apply, which make the layout easy to read equal in layout and way in which the paragraphs sit. 

Type Module - Session 10

Looking at different/creative ways to split the paragraph.

 Could be slanting the indentations? Or using kerning on the last line to 'underline' the paragraph.

 

 Maybe just using tabbing within the paragraph.

Filling in the rest of the line with colour?

Type - Week 9

I quite like this layout below. You firstly see my name, then curriculum vitae then look into the text. i really like the justified text! Think it looks neat, i also like the way in which everything is aligned with the end of my name, this also works nicely!

 Not too sure about this layout! I don't think the list effect on the right really works, and then it goes back to the justified style, looks odd!

 I quite like my name in the centre! This looks quite nice but again not too sure on anything else within this design.

I don't think this really works as I feel like my name and my logo are competing to be seen first. Which this shouldn't happen they should compliment eachother.

 I think having the text smaller works much better! Although I don't really like the layout of this design.

 Now I'v changed my mind! I like the text in the bottom right hand corner however I'm not sure about the logo where it is.

 Smaller??

 I think I really like this one! The logo will grab your attention, then the hierachy in my opinion works and is still simplistic and looks good.

Type - Week 8

Open publication - Free publishing - More indesign

My ideas behind the type layout were:

A serif font. (Georgia)
Bold at the beginning of the booklet
Slightly bigger leading
6mm gutter
Line spaces instead of indents
Aligned left
2 column pages - no more than 12 words on a line
Pagination for print

Type - Week 6 & 7
Layout for different audiences


We were given a document containing 2 pages worth of text along with one image.
We were then asked to create three different layouts for:

Academic Journal

Sunday Supplement

Magazine 16 - 21

Academic Journal Ideas:

Sunday Supplement

When talking to Graham and actually thinking about it, the sunday supplement needs to catch people's attention, stand out from the adverts in the magazine. The image is the perfect way to catch people's attention, so make it BIG! Two columns is also the norm for something like this.

Magazine 

Quality

 Dynamic

Type - Week 5

Painting a layout.

Oppresive..

Oppressive feeling heavy, something weighing down on you.

Placid..

Placid is a calm feeling, not challenging nor is it making you strain to look at it. Should probably be abit more boring? Possibly a full page of a light shade of black.

Type. 

In this lecture we were looking at how you can create a layout from a technique known as 'painting' this is where you paint the mood using blocks to express the feel of the subject your looking to portray, then this is gives you a layout. 

For example the friendly layout has a big margin and a lot of white space around the squares yet the squares where the type would be placed is close together creating a sort of bond.  

Angry..

This is too thought about. If you are angry, your irrational, mixed emotions, so you wouldn't have even square it would be all over the place.

Friendly..

Friendly is happy, happy is not so much a light font because it is not quiet! its quite a bold, strong, level feeling. And if you were to express happy/friendly sing type you wouldn't really use an extra light type. 

Precious..

Precious you want to express a unique feeling, slightly expensive maybe. A bigger bolder shape against a lighter smaller shape would probably work better. 

Type - Week 4

Printing.

Your job in your responsibility, work out how much it would cost on the different printers/ways of printing and work out which one is most effective for the job.

Talk to printers about how things can be done, how they will be done & also learn the techniques.

Leaflets.

You could make a leaflet any size if it fits onto A sized paper - thinking of costs all the time, a leaflet that is a slightly different shape will interest people more, but if it still fits on A sized paper it will not cost you any more.

Also folds are a key thing to look at when designing a leaflet.
-what information needs to be on it (designs & type)

Concertina fold:

add own folding....

Gate fold:

Design a leaflet.
Containing 3 A4 pages of type & 7 images.

First Attempt: doesn't look too bad however, i need to include more of the pictures and maybe play around more with the type and layout of the centre pages. 

i also do not like the paragraph in the bottom left corner, it doesn't work because there is not enough space around it.

This is my second attempt as i got told my alignment to the right was WRONG VERY WRONG, also there were quite a few amendments to my design to make sure it has a wide margin.

Type - Week 3

We have been asked to fill 1.5 pages worth of information into an A5 leaflet.
Points to consider:

Alot of text - double sided.

Printing alot - black and white to keep costs down.

Hierachy!

Catch people's attention

This is my first attempt. Smallest point size - 8.5 & includes all information required.

This is my second attempt,  i think i prefer my first one even thought there are only subtle differences.

Third attempt: in this design iv gone back to using my initial layout of my first design and then added the pieces from the second layout, such as the line and narrow'er' column on the front page. 

Every client will want their logo to stand out. How do you make different logos stand out just the same, even when they are differently designed?

Put them in a grid? such as a square? 

Then this deters you from looking at them 

or looking at them as a whole.
