On Friday, the group gathered to present our final layouts. We decided that the group could be flexible about adding another spread as the square layout could keep 5 spreads quite cluttered.
Across from everyone’s respective front pages, there would be a blank page, which would be the back of everyone’s last content page. (Everyone ends on a spread).
Front page:
Spread 1:
Spread 2 (double spread):
Spread 3:
Spread 4:
Ultimately, I decided to eliminate some of my experimental wet linocut prints and just use the two forms of publication: the zine and the experimental clear acrylic book format. During the meeting, we decided that we would do tweaks and send final drafts with final text to Caio to assemble by Sunday night.
Ultimately, we had to make a few revisions in terms of the cover pages, and we standardized fonts:
In addition to finalizing design processes, we discussed plans for the actual launch event and printing process/updated our progress according to our projected time-table.
For the immediate timetable, the digital publication seems to be on track, but there are a couple of issues that we must work out to actually print the publication. It is looking like the the best option will be to outsource a printer.
Teresa has been in contact with a couple of printers thus far:
Finally, talking to our fellow peers in the Graduate Diploma, they gave us some further people that we could contact.
For the current timeline though, the most immediate course of action is to finish our pages by Sunday so that Caio can finalize layout, and so I can make edits to text. We will confirm all of these changes at our meeting on Tuesday.
