Final Presentation
To prepare for my presentation, I created labels for each aspect of my project, grouping everything together in dates and content, using bulldog clips to hold them together. I purchased plastic covering for my final book so that it would be kept unharmed when put in my submission folder. I feel that although it may not look as aesthetically pleasing as i'd hoped, everything is organised and the journey throughout my project is clear.
I was pleased with my feedback and thankful that people had taken the time to comment. Although my peers felt that digital printing was effective, I still regret not being able to screen print the whole book. I'm glad that the colour scheme was seen to be effective aswell, as once again I was unsure. The feedback I received in my elevator pitch presentation was alot more constructive however, and I have been advised on a few things regarding the design of my book;
- Use a different stock as the off white doesn't look as effective as original prints. I felt that the off white colour would create more of an authentic, aged feel to the book and I really liked the texture of the paper. I may look into printing it onto full white paper for the Colours May Vary show though.
- The typeface used feels too sharp for the light hearted, low fi element of my images. Although I was once again attempting to convey a traditional aged element, I think that a Sans Serif font would make the design of my book alot more appealing to read.
- The textures of the screenprint work really well and it's good that I have been able to make physical prints before digitally printing. Creates authenticity.
Luckily I only printed one copy to submit, and so have an opportunity to change the design of my book according to my feedback before it is on sale at the Colours May Vary show.
