- textures from the location
- imagery from the book shop
- ways of laying out text/image relating to books
Got images from google maps and applied the threshold effect to them to gather textures from the images.
Blurting Ideas:
- book with tip-ins
- need to have hand made elements to relate the the signage of the store
- binding?
-could be made into posters as well to have in the local area.
- Have street names of local area as tip ins (could be hand drawn)
Bikini Beach books - Beach RoadOoskus Fisheries Fish And Chips - Watt StreetPower Plant - Hydro Street
What to communicate?
Want people to appreciate the area more, and get involved with local businesses. We don't want to bring in too much out side tourism as it's nice and quite for the locals. But want to encourage locals to get out into the area.
Main Page layout:
Images scattered across pages.
Text reading like you'd read the spine of a book, or leaning/stacking like the books in the book shop.
- Keep these consistent across the zine.
- Can later translate into a poster.
Inspiration for pages:
Isabel Seiffert:
'...her book and design for Not the End of Print is considered, accomplished and fully embraces the physical media it endorses.' - ItsNiceThat
Her work explores the limitations of print, translating book to poster - think about how this could be accomplished within own brief.
The use of text and image are complimentary to each other, they interact in a way that isn't typical of a traditional book, especially on the first image of the publication. It creates a busy aesthetic, but with enough white space to not be overcrowded.
Direction of text is interesting, engaging the audience or loses them due to the different directions of text.
Route:
Developing the route that could travel across the pages, presenting the journey throughout the book in a less obvious way.
Thinking bout incorporating signs?
Don't know where to place these?
How would they be used within the book? Tip ins? Are they needed?
