Studio Brief 01 - Design Decisions - Construction

Looking at the design details of what to create for this publication.

Stock:

• Experimenting with different paper and what effect they have on the image and the user experience 
• The cover should be matte, works better with letterpress. The inside to have a sheen to it 

Layout

• The images taken are out of context. Putting them in a suitable format with little to no text.
• In terms of the size and scale of the publication to keep the images as clear as they can. With the positioning of image and text. 

• The focus of the image should be primarily held on the image. The positioning of the text speaks for itself as in context its to be shown in an art book format.

Content :

The work should give a visual guide of a city.

Binding

Cheap production - most informed choice should be 

• The book should lie flat on a table with the pages opening enough so the images can be seen. 
• Japanese stab stitch. 
• Coptic binding - Signatures made with multiples of 4, binded together with saddle stitch firstly. 

Audience:

Those interested in art, city scenes, urban environments, curatives.

Production: 

The publications purpose is to be a platform of showcasing the urban environment of Leeds. Showing the diversity and the beauty in mundane. Specifically looking the type that often can go unnoticed. Its interesting to look at type that isn't usually given the limelight and images that aren't necessarily seen as beautiful and to use both the layout and the actual production giving it
