The Book Fair - Final outcome

Book fayre - progress crit

Amber asked us to consider the format, stock, if interactive and text and or image.

My group was Luis, Kirsty, Ben, Ben and Joe.

At this stage I had illustrated the red objects, scanned  and printed onto brown paper.  The group liked the brown paper stock and aslo thought the red paper inside worked well. I had also experimented with cutting the paper out.  They also thought the A4 sacle works well. 

I was still unsure about the brown paper so discussed with Amber.  She recommended perhaps trying some different stock as ink jet printers do not always stick to brown paper.

Book works - Brief and rewritten brief

We rewrote the brief to fit with our specific design ideas.  At this stage I was still thinking about doing a Barney Bubbles inspired book.

Progess crit - Book fair

Matt, Will, Kirsty and Frankie were in my group.

We had a group progress crit on Tuesday 8th Feb which was useful as everyone else has found it hard to focus on this brief given we are so near a module deadline and have just had a final crit for the last brief! I was relieved to see that everyone in my group had moved away from the photographs we originally took and it was interesting to hear other people's ideas.  I discussed the Barney bubbles pattern ideas which were well received.

On reflection I realised that I was overlooking my drawing skills and although I planned to screen print this to get a hand made quality it would still look 'digital'. So I went back to the drawing board so to speak.
