Design Process - Object Final Design Production

Once the design stages of the booklet were complete the next step was to look at how it would be produced and what materials would be appropriate for this.

To begin this process, looking at the materials used in graphic novels helped to build an understanding of what may be an appropriate type of paper to use for printing. One thing to consider when making this decision was the cost of printing, as there would have to be 12 pages in total to complete the booklet.

During the final peer critique session, I received feedback on how the outcome should be printed so that it suits the context of the project. This was to have the booklet printed A4 size and on a grainy or rough surface paper. In this way the booklet could be printed to its full potential as a graphic novel.

After recieving feedback from several people, they all agreed that the final piece should be printed in this way and with a minimalist front cover to finish. However, when printing the final outcome there was an issue with the typefaces that had been chosen for the final design. Therefore, printing the front page meant using a different typeface all together.


Another idea that was brought up in the final critique was to show where the colours for the designs had come from. Therefore, I switched the colours for ones that were from colour swatches, taken from scenes in the film.
