Research/Design

With the new layout of the images I looked at "Acne Paper",  this fun creative magazine is just a wonderful way to create a book with images and text. I liked how they had used a size that doesn't stick to the traditional A4/A3 etc they have made there product more unique. The feel of the magazine is just amazing in a way you have to use your eyes to look at the images and work images out etc which I think is just great because with the traditional size you don't really get a feel of it.

The images here you can see how carefully they have been placed on the page and with almost a story being told. When looking through the magazines I noticed that 2/3 pages have the same layout then it changes, in a way of a chapter. This adds to the unique touch to the magazine. 

When I went back to my design I took this into consideration: 

Here you can see some of my images that I have changed to fit together in a way of a story, when I printed this out I felt that this was a much better version, feel of my images. 

With the black and white images, at first I felt I hadn't really thought about which images I wanted this way or how I wanted them on the page. Overall I feel that the new layout works a lot better. 

Typography 

With this type I felt at the time it worked really well and jumped of the page however I do think the differences in size and thickness I just feel now it doesn't really go with the images. Maybe a new font or no text? 

When I went to look at the text again I felt that the different sizes and the font just didn't work, I feel that my book does need text and I feel it makes my book more personal as I used some of my memories. 

I chose to use the font Bodoni, as this font I used in my major research project and I just like how well it looks on the page and after it's been printed to. After using it in the other project I feel this font is personal to me as well as the words and images, I also think it will link both projects up well. 

Here are the changes that I made I think this has worked a lot better than before as it looks more professional and more finished than the last version. I moved the words around a bit and resized them as I felt the previous layout didn't work very much with the change of typeface.
