Study Task 06

Definition

• a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers.

• a bound set of blank sheets for writing in.

• a written ​text that can be ​published in ​printed or ​electronic ​form.

Theories

• It used to be so easy to define what a book was: a collection of printed pages bound inside a cover (hard or soft) that you could place on a shelf in your library, or in a store. Now, there are e-books, and blogs that turn into books, and long pieces of journalism that are somewhere between magazine articles and short books

• "What I have come to realise is this: electronic books can do certain things that print books cannot, and therein lies their value. Enhanced electronic books are changing our definition and expectations of books." - http://theconversation.com/what-is-a-book-in-the-digital-age-19071

Cloud images with no background. Used to create dreamy effect.

Unused front and back cover.

Here I highlighted edges of  a cloud image to demonstrate the colour wheel.

However, I decided against using it as it felt too much. Keeping the cover monochrome is a nice contrast with the bright colours inside the leaflet.

Created these geometric shapes as replacements for the wheel. The wheel is commonly used, so I interpreted it into these shapes. 

Study Task 04 - Typesetting

Design Principles - How Do You Read? - The Colours of Our Dreams

Idea -  To create a leaflet based around the opinions and facts around the colours seen in our dreams. Often colour has a deeper meaning than an aesthetic of something and holds many properties that can represent emotions and feelings in our lives that we were unaware of.

Red can symbolize passion, courage, or your emotional relationships... but it can also be the color of danger. You will need to think about what your personal associations are with red and look at the context of the rest of your dream to find out if you're seeing love or danger. Often they go hand in hand.

Orange symbolizes sociability and friendliness. This color could be showing you new interests or things that are warm and friedly towards you... or maybe your thoughtfulness towards a particular interest.

Like most colors, yellow has both positive and negative connotations. It can be symbolic of intellect, energy, happiness, and wisdom... or if the dream is an unpleasant one, the color could represent cowardice and sickness.

Green symbolizes positive change, growth, healing and peace. It can symbolize your efforts to gain recognition or establish your independence. The other side of green often represents greed and jealousy.

Blue symbolizes truth, wisdom, and openness. This could represent your optimism for the future or your trust in a particular thing. Blue may also be a metaphor of "feeling blue" or sad depending on your dream.

Darker shades of violet may denote a person who feels misunderstood or has obstacles to overcome. It too is a spiritual color, and brighter shades help inspire and stimulate, especially in relation to dream activity.

Because black is often regarded as the color of death, its appearance in our dreams may represent the death of old ideas or change. Another possible explanation is that it represents a hidden or rejected aspect of the dreamer. It is the color of mystery, the unconscious, and sometimes even protection.

Grey can indicate fear, depression, ill health, or confusion. It may represent being emotionally distant or detached from something.

White is often regarded as the color of purity and truth. Seeing this in your dreams may be a message from your subconscious telling you to regard the truth of a certain situation. It is also the color of completeness and innocence.

Design Principles - How Do You Read? - Further Development

 After adapting and changing my initial idea, I firstly kept with the same design.

I then thought I could make it appear more interesting by using some of my photography shots from a recent shoot. Where I projected dreamy, earthy, weather scenes from youtube videos and photographed them to demonstrate a photographic representative that could be used for a front cover.

Edited out the cursor I accidentally left on. 

Placed in the simple title and centred it.

To create a different vibe I replaced the O's with moon like symbols and A's with a triangle shape. These code like symbols give off a certain mystery and represent the idea of de-coding our dreams.
