Internship: Final layout

We managed to go to Regular Practice's studio and work quite heavily on the layout. Whilst there we worked on most of the page layouts, figuring out where the quotes worked best. How to use the colour in the body text. Then small things like how to title the talks and the placing of the …

Internship: Final Cover

As a group we decided on this as our final cover. We went with the hand as its something each speaker and workshop had in common. We also really like Katie's illustrations and wanted to have something illustrative to introduce the content of the book. As well as that we kept the type regular instead …

Internship: pitching final design

For this weeks session we had to create a pitch for our publications and pitch to Regular Practice and a couple of other tutors. We started off with an introduction to our publication, what sort of thing it would contain and the parameters we were given in our briefing. We showed images of where we …

Internship: layout development 3

The body text for the talks quickly became our least favourite part to work on. It quickly became clear that we'd have to put the tabs in ourselves so that the flow of the text would seem like spoken word. We also added differentiation in the font, so the less important information became light and the …

Internship: cover development

For the cover of the publication, I was initially just being experimental there was no real direction. I knew we wanted to have the colour scheme incorporated somehow but apart from that, there was nothing else we prescribed to it. Going of off what Katie did with the illustration, I did a few gestural experiments. …

Internship: layout development 2

  Here's some more experiments we did with the body text layout. We thought changing the font and size of certain words would help give that conversational feel. The idea was to have the pauses emphasises, and the words that are less meaningful in a light font. We also tried out having breaks between sentences …

Internship: layout development

These are a few of layouts we played about with before I meeting with Regular Practice. We probably spent the most time on the pull quotes one, mostly because it really infuriated us and had the most variety of compositions. The balance between the quote and the name became particularly interesting because although the quote gave you …

Internship: publication research

After having a briefing with Regular Practice about what to look into and things to focus on. They said that we should be as experimental as possible and try not to give ourselves too many boundaries. I found this French newspaper which is printed on one piece of paper and unfolds to be an A1 sheet. I …

Internship: feedback

This week we managed to go to Regular Practice's studio and present to them what we've been working on. For instance, we showed them a few mock-ups of the pull quote layouts, body text layouts and the typeface that we picked. I also managed to put these layouts into a physical mockup cut the size we collectively chose, …

Internship: further research

Now that we know how we want the text to come across like a conversation, rather than just a block of text which we agreed would get tiring to read. With that in mind, I started to think of texts that already had that, sort of, conversational rhythm. Poetry has a unique layout because it …
