Process Book Spreads (some of my favourites)
I kept the contents page simple as I just wanted it to focus on what the content is for, I chose the place the word vertically along the inside margin because it was close to the text on the other side of the page, I chose not to put it on the same page because I wanted to stray away from having the same structure throughout my book.
2. Recipe design 4: elements and grid
For this spread I wanted one page to have the elements I used in the design and the other side to have the grids, I originally had the image with no grids on the same page but it was too cramped so I moved it. This made good use of space and balance.
I preferred having this image on its own page with text on the other page, Iâve seen this done in process books examples before and I loved the minimalism.
4. Title page: Judge A Book By Its Cover
I used this image on every title page and the same text layout, using the same image with every title page creates a system so the viewer recognises it as a new project.Â
This is one spread of many that stuck to my original layout of having everything fitting to the grid. The title, the images and the body copy fitted to the grid created a simple system that was easy to carry through my process book.
6. Scans from Judge A Book By Its Cover workshop
With my scans, I wanted to break from the grid as this emphasised what the workshop was for; having fun and exploring new stuff.
7. Marble scans from Judge A Book By Its Cover workshop
The same as above with these scans, but I added the text in the same system to create a mixture of both systems and breaking the grid.
I chose to break up the word âfeedbackâ as it didnât look good anywhere on the page and keeping it the same size as other enlarged text it looked awkward or went over the margins, so I decided to centre it and have the body text in-between the title - another example of breaking the grid.
9. Collaborative evaluation
I chose to do a monochrome spread for the collaborative evaluation because I hadnât used it except on the cover. The evaluation spread being in monochrome underlines its importance. I also used the same placement as the contents page for the title, the words being on opposite sides of the margin.
For this spread, I chose to add more than one of the titles to again break the Grif but also because the page was too plain so I added some dynamic to the page by rotating and sizing the title down.
