OUGD404 - Studio Brief 02 - Book Layout Research


I quite like how this book doesn't have to much information/text within fewer pages, as it gives that minimal look especially with the alignment of the text and imagery. I also think the trim along the front cover & 3rd page allows it to have more cleaner look which i think i will apply within my own page layout 


I do like how the book is just black and white & the chosen typeface is a serif, giving it that old sense but at the same time its modern in the sense of its minimal layout with the crisp white stock. Considering there isn't colour I still think this book would be eye catching. 



I think having some pages as imagery is rather effective as it makes the book a lot more simpler in my mind, that the imagery is just as important as the information. In a way it complements the opposite page as it exaggerates the blank space. I really find its simplicity relaxing, instead of over complicated books which hold to much information but no visual satisfaction. 







I like how different the layout of this book is such as some text fill is black then some is white, there being no consistency but still is aesthetically pleasing, which makes it more exciting turning to the next page as its most likely to be different. The use of opacity has been used effectively as it complements the background stock & the black grainy texture within the imagery.
