Design for print evaluation
Overall the book fulfils the client’s needs and visually the
book represents the content in an appropriate way through the use of layout,
alignment, typeface and colours. The minimal layout work swell to aesthetically
present the information within the book, ensuring that the writing is seen to
be legitimate and trustworthy but also engaging the reader by presenting other
elements in more experimental ways. The perfect binding was proven to be the
most appropriate binding method visually and practically. The method allowed
for the spine to be squared and also for two different thicknesses of stocks to
be used, positively adding to the user interaction within the book. The choice
to use right alignment of text for the majority of the book was subtly representative
of the content within, working positively to make the final book a little
different to other existing products. The design decision of not including a
blurb on the back of the book worked positively to highlight that the book is
more of a visual representation of the decriminalisation of the LGBTQ+
community rather than a descriptive one.
If made in industry, the foiling on the front cover would
have worked without any problems in regards to the toner reacting to the heat.
Industry standard production of the book would also improve the consistency in regards
to the printing quality, ensuring that the large blocks of colours have no patches
of lightness. To further develop the back section, having the artwork on a page
each so that all of them could be ripped out by the user would be good to
ensure that all of the pieces are treated equally. In terms of identifying each
of the pieces of art, the title and artist’s names could be presented all
together at either the beginning or end of the section.
