Katie Doyle Designs.

This series of images are some of my initial thoughts about my flip book designs. I want to keep them purely typographical and with the strong colour theme throughout the photographs, I wanted to make that prominent within my designs for the front covers. I also wanted to use a type face that has some sort of cut out design, use that to actually cut out the type to show the colour through it. This was to represent my use of photography as you are able to see through it as I have been looking at society through my camera view finder.

I decided to explore the theme of colour further, therefore within my use of text I have used famous quotes or sayings that say that particular colour. This is extremely random and only relates to the colour, not the photography or type of book. I wanted to produce a set of books that would be perfect coffee table or toilet books, therefore decided it was ideal to use well know quotes about colour, but that have no relation to the actual book.

If I was to use this font as it is shown here, with the leading altered so it touches, it would not work if I wanted to use it for a cut out front cover. If I was to carry on and use this font I would have to change the leading substantially in order for there to be enough room between the lines of text so the cut out would not be too flimsy and easily breakable. Durability is something I have to seriously think about for this type of book as it is going to be used and flicked through a lot therefore I may have to reconsider my font choice and overall design of the typography.

Another possible way of folding the paper for my series of photographs on Talbot Road, the images can be connected to create one long image and be folded in this way to make viewing the book easier than a concertina style. I feel this would help the viewer see the images once opened out without having to stretch a long piece of paper and without it being long and thin when folded.

These images show a selection of images of books that use cutout typography on the front covers. I am going to use some form of cut out type as this represents the camera viewfinder and shows how people can look but don’t always see.

A selection of images showing interesting series of books, with the style of colour combinations I am think about using for my compilation of books.

A great collection of flip books from the over sized to hand made. I have decided to make a set of flip books that contain my images. I have done a range of photo shoots in and around Bournemouth, using a tripod so every image has the same background but the people within the photographs are continually changing. I decided to document the ever changing society within one hour over a number of days in different locations.

Some more images that I feel I could take aspects of them and apply that to my book designs or front covers. The colour systems and bold typography is the style I am going for as my images are, although photos, they are also graphic, with bold, block colours and straight lines.

Whilst thinking about my images from the balcony of Talbot Road, I have collated them in a few ways, to see how they work best. I tried to connect them all, so they make one long, continuous image, and used the technique of concertina to produce a book format. This was not that successful as the images are offset and therefore the book became long and thin. I have been trying to find other ways to produce this book/poster/image and this image, although still concertina, could work better.

A set of flick/flip books that caught my eye. The striking colour themes and typography are some of the things that I am going to take on board and use within my flick book set. Other things that I want to consider when designing my flick books are how they work together as a set, e.g a theme that runs throughout as well as the other side of the pages, possibly typography that works its way in and you can use the flick book both ways (double sided).

Going round in circles!

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:06:00 -0400

Ok, once again I have come up with another outcome for my EMP. Having been going round in circles for many weeks, I need to talk to my tutor about this final idea. So I don’t have to completely start again, as I would have done if I had gone down the route of setting up scenes and recording peoples reactions to inappropriate behaviours, I have decided to take some of my existing photographs, the more graphic looking ones, and develop them further. By setting up a tripod and taking photographs over a few hours in one place I aim to document how the same place/scene can change over time with the people that come in and out of it. I will compile these images into a set of designed books, more than likely flick/flip books, each with a different colour that relates to the images and the front covers. Give it time, this idea may change AGAIN!
