A book of what i consider being the top 10 things to consider when preparing for print.
Before starting the book i had to decide what i considered was actually the most important things to consider being important when printing to make sure you get the perfect print.
The 10 i decided to include where;
-what are you printing - knowing what your print is and who it is for before sending to print to help you decide which print method would be better suited.
-preparing for print - making sure your document is correctly set up before sending to print
-colour modes - making sure you are aware of colour modes and which colour mode you should be working in.
-stock - knowing your stock and which would work best for your design
-imposition - to help when printing a publication.
-pantones - using pantone swatches to help achieve the perfect print.
-types of print - showing a few of the printing methods and how they work to help you decide which would be best for you
-finishing - consider the finishing on your print to really make your design stand out.
-binding - which binding method would be best suited for print when designing a publication
- cost - the most important factor when designing for print, finding the cheapest yet best suited print method for what you wish to design.
I then began creating the layout for the book, here is the grid i used throughout the book, to try and keep a similar style and layout running through each page.
I then began adding the content, coming from the research i have conducted throughout the brief, summarized the information into the key most important parts.
finished book.

With the design and layout of the book i wanted to continue running with a minimal style to fit in with my other work with this module, using minimalist compositions and layout within the editorial, however sometimes this was quite difficult with the small size of the book and the amount of information we had to include. I designed the layout for each page before including any information to help try and keep a running style throughout the book. I used just 2 colours within the design to kind of help keep the minimalist style, also using cyan to keep it print related 'uknowatimean.'
