Materials, Interpretation & the Book Form Workshop

READY, STEADY, BOOK!

1. Go on a journey for 45 mins (max)
 - Document as much as possible.
 - What to use the time for?
 - Something more specific, such as texture, patterns, repetitive items etc.
 - Or just do everything in general, delegate a person to a specific piece of documentation.

2. Using materials in the studio to translate the journey into book form.
 - No content needed.
 - Focus on form and materiality.

FINAL BOOK:

 

• The cover is on orange paper to match the coffee cup.
• The size is 220mm x 176mm which is a scaled up version of the coffee cup height and diameter. The cover size dictated the rest of the page sizes.
• The title is the same as the branding for the coffee cup.
• Inside the book the pages reflect the walls of the new and old build. The new build pages are slick, shiny and thin, the pages of the old build would be thicker and more textured, as the old build has many exposed but painted breezeblocks.
• The inside pages follow the route we took through the new and old building to get a coffee from the canteen. 
• The page numbers were the room numbers we passed in the order we walked.
• When we hit the spot in the book when we entred the library there were a few pages that had the same dimensions as the library shelves, three 5x12 and ten 5x6. These were in the colours of the carpet in the library.
