16 page book layout research

One of the main things we were briefed on was that we needed to look into different types of layouts and experiment with different kinds of layouts, as well as having our content all done so we could get it critiqued to check for spelling mistakes and if the layout/content is relevant.



Looking into page layouts

I like the use of the gold on this publication it works really well with the black matt paper, it also mixes it up a bit, changing the pages so there is something different and not just the matt paper.  

 I think this publication is interesting, it has an outside cover that then relates to the other pages with the type that is around the outside, these words help frame the pages and give information about them, it also creates a book within a book almost.

I think although there is a lot of text on this magazine it has a strong layout and the text doesn't become overwhelming, i also like the arrow which directs you in the correct direction very subtly. Another aspect of this magezine i like is how the photos have been cropped fitting in with the rest of the pages, this is something i will have to think about when it comes to my design, thinking about the images i will use, how there cropped, will they be photographic or vector based?

Looking a different layout on magazines and books that i could take inspiration from

Paul smith men spring summer 2014

As can be seen this publication has a very simple layout, focusing mostly on the image, therefor showing off the clothes that they want people to buy. I feel this layout could be suited to what i want to do with the bikes, focusing more on the image than on the text. Also there is a very small amount of text next to the image that takes up a whole page.

As can be seen below the same layout is carried on throughout the book, keeping a consistency and flow of the book that is always focused around the clothing. This consistency is something i am going to apply to my own work, so the main focus is around the bike with a small amount of text.

I like here how they have zoomed in to parts of the bike they want to show off. 

I like how the whole image has been put across the double page spread with a small amount of text in the bottom corner, this is something i could use on some of my pages.
