The Shape of things
Group Project
The shape of things.
In group of 5 we are given an essay to turn into a publication.
Our essay is Vilem Flusser ‘A word about deisign’
We are not allowed to edit or add to any of the text.
The Group included:
 
Beth Bains
Taylee Morris
Gemma Gorringe
David 

After experemeting with text overall we were told to create a uniform style throughout the book.
We assigned each other to concentrate on one factor of type layout each:
Taylee: alignment,
david: size,
Myself: spacing
Beth: weights
We decided that as the essay talks about designers being tricksters and the trojan horse we decided to just use just trojan horse images.
This also kept with our trickery theme as the reader would not expect horses on every page.
We managed to find loads of weird and wonderful trojan horse images!
For the cover we decided on a colour simple trojan horse to keep with the theme of trickery as the rest of the book is in black and white.
We decided to add a smal picture of the author of the essay onto the back cover without his name to keep the theme of craftyness and trickery.
 
Our books were presented in a small exhibition in Camberwell
