HannahLloydDesignPractice: Developing the 'booklet'

The two final layouts to present at the Crit on Wednesday.
The next thing that I need to consider is stock. I have used colour and photographs to create the brown paper feel, so I just need to think about the thickness. The cover should be a lot thicker than the pages inside I think. Maybe a good idea to experiment with some acetone prints onto actual cardboard.

Creating the front cover for This Way Up. It has always been in the back of my mind to look into doing label design or something to do with tape as this is a significant way of the symbols being used. So I did a mock up of it in photo shop, and I think it looks quite good.

Keep Dry Booklet, lining up this one now and trying to make the layout a little more interesting, but still quite simple, as I want the typeface to be the only message, do not want anything else to confused it. I think these are almost ready to print now. I just need to sort out the front covers, but this illustrator does not seem to like opening photos so may be a bit frustrating!

I have now created a set of numbers, so for this typeface I have CAPS, LOWER CAPS, REGULAR, ITALIC, BOLD, NUMBERS. I feel I have looked into this typeface in greater depth to the other one, as I feel it is more adaptable. When I started playing around with the keep dry typeface it all became a bit distorted and either was not obvious as the character or that it was an umbrella.

After printing the booklet out, I was able to spot the annoying lining up details a lot easier on Paper. So I went back into Illustrator and lined everything up and created a (slightly confusing) grid. The annoying thing with this is I have yet to find a way to create my typeface into an actual type without having to pay money to a generator website.

Having already created the layout for the This Way up booklet, it was easy to start putting together this one.

The overall layout. The idea is that the front and back covers are the image of the top of the cardboard box and the inside pages are just a similar colours.

I thought about trying to make the layout a bit more interesting. I feel like this way up is a bit of a 'boyish' design, but the keep dry font evens it out!
