WEEK 1 'A Book of 100...'

First week down and im not entirely sure what kind of direction or form my book will take. But this is a 5 weeka so nothing has to be set in stone now. More research required for sure and more categorisation.This will then open up more paths of thought.

Mini Week Long Sub-Brief- Submitted Monday 19th January

Fixed Format Book 'A Book of 100...'

Contents Pages:approx A5 (A1 sheet folded), 16 leaves, 32 pages, paperwieght no more than 100g/m2, full colour.

Cover and End Papers:approx A5 (designed from A4 sheet folded), different paper stock and weight from contents (any paper colour, black ink only, title and author needs to be evident.

Binding method:open,but must be bound effectively.

I got some encouraging feedback for this piece this piece that i pulled together,the overall thought being that i should head towards producing an interactive/educational/entertaining guessing type book for children.

This simple mock-up contained 100 possible objects to choose from(bit of a cheat,oh well!) and used each of the 16 leaves/32 pages but not in a standard book manner. I did put a lot of thought into the layout so each silhouette didnt overlap.

I think it was quite sucessful though the paperweight restrictions mean it is quite flimsy and fragile. If i did push this idea further many factors would be thought about with a lot more care e.g. the font,binding method,paperweight and the actual purpose and function of the book with a specific target audience in mind.

And as hard as it is to believe, i did actually enjoy cutting out!
