Developing the spreads further

So I have been working constantly this afternoon on the spreads for my context book. I have been creating and adding body copy to the pages and choosing suitable images to go within the layout template I had from the last post. I am quite happy with my progress so far today, still a long way to go but at least I have more hope of getting somewhere now :) I have to have a full mock-up for Thursday so its going to be a fair few hours to be going into this for that, I want to get as much done as possible so I can get some good feedback on it as in my tutorial I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was for this brief, disappointed in myself for that but I am addressing it now and working hard to get it all done.

Developing the spreads...

Here is the progress so far, working on the layout for my design context publication. I have already thought of a few changes which can be made which involve having boxes filled with the relevent colour for the chapter for my own analysis rather than having a standard cyan colour for the type.

Spreads taken into indesign...

Working on the spread designs in indesign, deciding best layout for images for the intro pages and chapter heading pages - choosing colours etc...

New spread designs based on revised contents...

Working out and revising a contents page...

I have been designing spreads based on this initial contents page as said in my last crit the contents needed to be clear and the book needs to be more than collected information so I have sections I have analysed and dissected the interviews and took out the information I found really helpful to myself as a designer:


Big issue: type and layout that communicates social, health and educational issues.


1.) Introduction
- About
-Public sector / Private sector

2.) Design Considerations
- Concept development
- Audience
- Process and format

3.) Choosing clients and working with identity guidlines


4.) Budgets
- Approaching social, health and educational briefs


5.) Interviews in full
-Raw
-Elaven
-Rare

6.) Resources
- Books
- Websites
- Studios


7.) Contributions

Spreads for the crit -

 

These spread designs show layout of the interviews, captions on blue on the left columns and double spreads of images of work relating to the studios.

Design Ideas and spreads before crit

I am creating a publication for my design context as I am big on layout. The contents follows the interviews I have collected.
