Design for print//Development of formatting

Here shows the process of developing the design of the booklet communicating paper formats. 

Design sheet//Layout

The design sheets shape the original idea. It does not have to be the finished project but it gives an opportunity to get some visuals down paper. The design sheets that follow are very basic mainly because of the ambiguos layout as of yet. As the books are going to work as a series it is inevitable that the same sort of imagery will be used. Therefore it is more about where the content is going to be place and how new visuals can be created and applied to make this book that little bit different and relevant to the subject.





Main images


As this book is based on paper formats it has the potential to be kept simple and easy to understand. The use of colour is going to be a key aspect of the images as it will determine which paper size is being referred to. As the actually diagram is going to be quite basic, hopefully the colour will make it more visually pleasing. 








Areas of book

Simliar to other book design their will be five areas within paper formatting that will be focussed on. The colour of the titles will match the colour of the illustration so that it all works as a page.









Experimenting with layout
Finding a suitable layout can be hard so a few different versions for this book have been produced. As the type has been kept minimal and the diagrams are the most focal point of the double page spread, it is crucial that the composition is legible as well as making the most out of the space provided. The layout was done in InDesign and illustrator files were placed in one by one so that they could be changed if need be.
