Production and Page Format

PRODUCTION/PAGE FORMAT

• Trim size dependent on content- size and scale of photos and amount of text
• All of our books had a vertical layout
• Page sizes allows the work to be showcased in different ways:
• Some books were smaller and didn't have much room to experiment with radical design choices. They showcased simple documents of the works in a more structured and consistent layout.
• Other larger books had much more freedom to play with different layouts and typically included a bigger variety in the type of content.
• An advantage of having an unusual trim size is you can really capture attention depending on the work that is being presented. Although it may be a disadvantage because you can pigeon-hole yourself; the size may not allow to make certain decisions, and possibly compromise communication.
• Some of the books had different paper stocks
• typically a mixture of glossy and matte
• what paper used depends on the content
• glossy- images
• matte- text
• covers are thicker too- enhanced versions of body copy (for paperbacks)
