OUGD603 Brief 5: content and layout


content and layout

Kyle had created some amazing content for the book (and I was able to add one or two of my own pieces of work as well). I wanted to make sure that these were the focus within the book, so we went about creating the layout. As the book would be Coptic bound and would sit flat when it was opened, it would be easy to create double page spreads to fully show off the content designed for the book. With the book being a Coptic bound one, we have to keep the book to multiples of 4. After adding the content to the layout for the book, it ended up having 20 pagers which was perfect to fit within the thick covers.
To get a print slot to print our book out, we had to book the slot before Easter as the print resource was getting overwhelmingly busy with it coming to the deadlines for everyone’s courses. Thankfully, booking it weeks in advance meant there was no stress or hassle for printing the book out. We had a few misprints but the resource staff really helped us out to make sure everything was printed right which was a huge help.

Binding the book together was such a great feeling as it showed all the work put into this project come together and we were very happy seeing it finished.
