Final photos. 

Because this was part of a larger design project, I actually had the forethought to take nice photographs before turning it in. Well, was required to have the forethought by virtue of a process PDF. 

Country Food is being sold for $10, with all proceeds being donated to the Inuit Collective Kitchen of Chez Doris. 

Second prototype. Went smaller and moved the title to the package band. 

Suggestions for improvement: reframing of the photographs.

Country Food, first prototype.

I printed on newsprint to save Fabriano but it turns out I like the combination of this color print on the sensual quality of the newsprint? I decided to use it instead. My approach was to design this object such that it can be viewed as a book of Duffy’s text and a full-sized poster of Pottle’s. I also wanted to include a full-color version of Pottle’s photo because it was important to me that the viewer also see it as the photographer intended it to be seen.

Given that I wanted to make multiples and there was a quick turnaround time, I decided to go with a zine fold to avoid binding. In order to make it more interesting, I decided to add an extra panel so it would have 10 pages instead of 8.

Printing Proofs, round 2

[moiré] is the working title of my book(let). 

Mapping out printing. I can never mentally deconstruct these books so it’s always best to write it down. Then write it down again.

A first draft. An exercise in how to display texts simultaneously. 

I’m playing mostly with the irregular use of columns, reflecting the concept but still working within a grid system. Major notes for myself: typeface could be smaller, page numbers are too intrusive for the size of the book, add a folio.
