Project 3a - Book Design and layout


Instructions



After we finished our visuals and exercises , we had to move on to finalizing our book design, We had to test and determine our type face , margins and grids 

Progress 1 - Determining Grids 

We had to test out three grid systems and finalize one.


After thinking i chose my third layout as my book is about drugs and i would need a little more space for my visuals. It will also allow a bit more dynamic text placement like vertically which i am aiming for to reflect the druggie factor.

Chosen Grid 



After choosing my grids tested it out with dummy text and it was giving me some problems to work with so i slightly modified it to allow me to have more dynamics and range to work with.

Modify Grid


I worked on the grid again to see how it worked and I observed my way of using it didn't need the grid to have so many rows so I changed it slightly again and finalised it .

Final Grid 


Next We had to make a type specimen sheet to determine our pt size , type face etc for our header , subtext and Body text.

My book is drugs and Heavy metal music related with the overall theme of so i started testing fonts which are edgy but sleek to reflect a classy serious look at the same time reflecting the faded drug factor.

Type Specimen , I made my specimen sheet but i was also open to changes if the fonts did not work the way i wanted to in the progress.

Final project  Data analysis and evaluation  Research Report Research Report slides Research Presentation recorded Reflection Honestly starting this module , my approach to it was very negative and uninteresting. Through the course however I slowly developed an interest into the module as i was starting to gather data that I like. The writing part in this module seemed hectic. As soo as I started gathering good data however my interest in the module took a very positive turn. As I started collecting data or facts that i had not previously known , working for the assignment did not feel hectic. Whenever i felt i was lagging behind or was lost with the flow, my lecturer Ms. Jinchi was always there for guidance and feed back which just boos
