Meeting 3

From last weeks meeting we went away and rethought the layouts and tried to combine the two which they liked. This did prove to be quite difficult as they were very different, mine very busy and full and Hazels the opposite.

On the other side of the large full bleed image I tried to incorporate some of the elements Hazel had used which they liked. I also tried keeping mine consistent with blocks of colour behind the copy.

We talked about the use of orange last week and using it subtly so I have incorporated this into the numbers and also some titles.

 Last week we talked about the use of small dots like on the Ben Kelly website. I've created a quick page of dots in black and also a similar orange to give the idea of what they could look like and possibly be used on the inside of the front and back covers or to break up sections in the book.


All of our ideas for today:

Today's feedback:

They are creating a stand for their exhibition to showcase the books made out of wood. So a sustainable, brown/woodllike cover would be unsuitable with regards to standing out. A colour or white would be better.

They definitely don't want an image on the front, text or quite. We talked about embossing as a sustainable option for the cover.

Using a variation of layouts to break it up and so it doesn't become repetitive, out of the layouts we showed them they picked a few they like best which we can go away and work with to create a consistency. We need something which can tie the whole thing together, we are thinking the dots running throughout.

Possibly feature pages to showcase more work as last week they were talking about giving some people 4 pages and some 2 which isn't fair, this way more work can be showed in groups of images.

Using the numbers in orange.

Wednesday and thurday we can take photos.
