SB1: Existing Publications in General

I also looked at existing publication in general along with the ones that you see in university. I found that they are much more experimental and require much more effort as they have actually been made by hand rather than by a machine which may make their mass production quality less efficient. However, they look very interesting and definitely eye-catching

• Very dynamic and has impactful use of printing and design processes.
• Interesting binding method which may appeal to their audience and enhance its aesthetic quality.
• May be able to be mass produced in a large amount due to time and labour costs

Thoughts & reflection:

What I've gathered from this is that these publication has effectively used design elements such as colour, type and paper stock in order to present their concept in an interesting and effective manner. Reflecting this back to my own design, I think that I should also the same and really focus the link between the design elements and the actual product in order to relay the information to the users in a much more engaging and enjoyable way rather than just making a manual that they'll have to read.
