Design Context photographed

Below: This is a mock up of a sleeve that I could display my design context publication in.

I think I may just leave it on its on as I don't want to take away the quality of the publication.

Photography of my design context book showing the range of different paper stocks, layouts and colour use throughout my publication.

Below: Front Cover-printed onto bulky newsprint.

Below: Pg 2-3- Page 3 is coloured card but wasn't printed on to. I wanted to have blank blocks of colour running throughout my publication to break it up and give it space and give people time to take in the information.

Below: Pg 2, selfpromotion using my logo and details of where it was printed and the images I ahve used throughout my publication.

Below: Chapter page, printed onto bulky newsprint. The first 6 and last 6 pages were printed onto bulky newsprint to break up the book a little bit, I was a bit worried that the book would start to look like a scrap book but it has all fitted together really nicely. I got my inspiration for different paper stocks from eye magazine.

Open publication - Free publishing - More typography

This is the final layout of my publication that I created on Issuu so that you can get a feel of how it all sits and looks together as one whole. The only issue with this application is that you can not see the different paper stocks that I have used within it. So I have takn some photographs above to get more of a feel of the overall look and outcome of my publication.

Pattern design

Pattern design that would work nice with typography

Final Book to send to print...

Justine Ashbee

Amazing detailed illustrations that i found on a blog.

Eye Magazine...

I was advised to go have a look at one of the Eye Magazines for inspiration for my design context publication.
The stock varities within the magazine are amazing, there are 4 different types of paper stock within the magazine which gives a real individual and unique feel to it. This is what I am trying to achieve with my own publication.

Grand People

I came across GrandPeople in Eye Magazine, I think there work is absolutely amazing, I think I may even be tempted to add there work into my design context book.
Below: I love this piece of work in particular, the contrast between photography colour and black and white illustration combines perfectly.
There is a strong focus on image and type used within there work.

Logo design-very detailed and illustrative. I could see my logo looking something like this.

Pattern design for magazine cover...found this piece in the Eye Magazine

JUNG + WENIG

Great use of tye, pattern and colour combined, limited amounts of colour infact.

Stylist magazine...

I have contacted Stylist magazine to ask them about the paper stocks that they use for their free magazine hand outs. I really like the stock used and this would be perfect for my design context book.

I was looking through the magazine and there are certain layouts within it that could work quite well with how I want to display my chapter that is called 'The world of type and image'

I could have little mini examples of different pieces of type and image in different contexts with a brief explanation below it.

The dimensions of the stylist magazine are w:23cm/h:29.5

Layouts within the magazine, I am going to use this an inspiration throughout my publication.

Introduction to magazine, editor writes a little opening piece to introduce the magazine and the contents, i could bring this into my design context book.

Advertising within the magazine. Full page imagery.

Creative Review

Foiling has been added to the logo of creative review here, adding foiling really enhances a design in my personal opinion and I would like to try doing this for my design context publication.

Below: Front cover of creative review.

Below: Barcode presented on the front cover of creative review, showing date, year and price.

Below: Creative printed on a different paper stock, printing on different paper stocks gives a really unique and different feel to the publication.

Below: Typography printed/screen printed onto front cover of creative review.
