Experimentation : Colour

After receiving feedback from peers I experimented with different ways I could incorporate colour into the publication. The first method I tried was using a tip on of different stock. the stock being coloured acetate gave a nice aesthetic to the publication in contrast to the dark matt paper. This stock also worked well to reflect the context and the element of a screen. This publication also experiments with perfect binding, which worked well and as I thought is the most appropriate binding for the publication. 

The second experiment is based on creating a coloured version of the publication. I based the concept of this publication closely to the context of a smartphone. The colour scheme was selected from an iPhones nightshift mode. This gave the publication aesthetic an interesting gradient effect through colour. This also worked well to reflect night and day that can relate to the morning after. 

Experiment 1

What worked well:

- The choice and contrast of stock

- The altered grid so all type content is contained within the screen

- Perfect binding as the bound method 

What didn't work well:

-The cover should be higher gsm such as black card 

- The glue binding could be done to a higher standard 

Experiment 2

What worked well:

- The use of colour in the form of a gradient 

- Colour relates well to the concept of a smartphone

- Could the text go from large to small on each page 

- Could stock go from glossy to matt?

What didn't work well:

- Choice of stock - justified as only a mock up
