OUGD504 - Type in context - Book Considerations


  Colour Scheme

Because this brief was a more personal topic I've decided to take a more personal approach towards the booklet. Applying current interest of myself into my work such as black & white colours being apart of my identity in a fashion sense, to my modern work style.

WHITE.
Positive: Hygiene, sterility, clarity, purity, cleanness, simplicity, sophistication, efficiency. 
Negative: Sterility, coldness, barriers, unfriendliness, elitism.





BLACK.
Positive: Sophistication, glamour, security, emotional safety, efficiency, substance. 
Negative: Oppression, coldness, menace, heaviness.



  Type & layout


I've chosen to work with two san serif typefaces 'Bebas Neue' & 'helvetica'. The two typefaces work well in complementing one another and that contributes a clean, modern look. After justifying the placeholder text it has caused unnecessary spacing between each word. So from the research, I have gathered knowledge of making the spacing a lot more even. The type adjustments such as right indenting prevents the spacing within the text, allowing a more consistent eye flow to the reader.
