Final newsletter & evaluation
The Final fron and back of my newsletter. It is A5 fold out to A2 and uses Helvetica 8pt medium with the headers being Century Gothic bold italic at 18pt. The title on the cover is at approx 30pt to help give the design an immidiate look. I aimed to reflect a broadsheet look with my fold out;
To achieve a broadsheet look I used wide columns making sure i incorporated my images into the grid alongside the type. I made the layout in such a way that as you fold the newsletter out you get a continuous strem of information that culminates in the viewer finding out when the open times are on the back poster.
I did shock myself with how quickly I managed to conceptualise this brief and also turn it around for print successfully. Its definately made me see what is possible in terms of completing something that has a tight deadline and I definately will be doing more mini briefs like this alongside my larger more comprehensive briefs. I looked at the Don't panic website last night to see if there is anything to do, but at the moment there isnt. but as soon as there is Im going to start turning round their competition briefs everytime there is one as well as submitting illustrations to the Juice Magazine and Designer violence.

Really loving the work you are doing. The illustrative stuff seems to be your passion but I like the way you can organise, and select the appropriate typefaces, which is a skill in itself. Being multi skilled isn't such a bad thing, and if you were to freelance this would be very useful.
ReplyDeleteThe briefs link to your position statement and you seem to be on track. Just remember not to be too picky with your context blog, put everything and anything up there that is appropriate. This could be something outside your practice, however.
