Brief 2 // Alternative Music Room // Submission Boards

Alternative Music Room Submission Boards

I am pleasantly surprised at how this brief turned out. I chose this brief was I wanted to develop my publication skills. The publication itself turned out to be much longer and more content based that I originally intended. I slightly understood the amount of time it would take me to generate all the content. I had a few problems with gathering some of the content, due to a select of artists that I wanted to include in the publication, did not have enough information written about them so I had to source other artists. I am pleased with how the logo has turned out and happy with the colour scheme I have used. I had a few problems in the early stages of it's development as I couldn't design any ideas for the logo that I was happy about. Eventually after a tutorial a made a decision on which of the logos I was going to use to develop further and I am happy with how it has turned out, there have been many stages of it's development over the course of the 6 of the 8 weeks the brief took. I am happy with the overall design of the publication, I think the typeface choice and layout fits well with the type of music the blog publishes. I would have liked to design more for a range of promotional material, raising the awareness of the blog however the branding and publication too longer than I gave myself time for.

AMR // Bound and Finished Publications

I am going to submit 4 publications, all have the same content but different front cover design, binding and colour specification, I wanted to see which of these would be most suited if the publication.

The pdf shows two publications that have been bound using saddle stitch, the colour and black and white versions.

 I have added in a contents page at the front of the publication, and three adverts at the end of the publication; phone app advert, next issue advert and the blog page advert.

Alternate Music Room Finished Publications

AMR // Publication Binding

I have used two types of binding for the publications; perfect binding and saddle stitch binding. 

Perfect Binding. 

High end magazines and publications use perfect binding so I wanted to use this for one set of my publications. 

The publication has come out well and all the pages are bound together. I was worried that it would make the publication harder to read but it didn't turn out to be an issue. 

Saddle Stitch Binding

I originally intended just to staple the publication together, however when I did this I realised that because of the number of pages in the publication it was only possibly to staple the pages together, and even this was not very secure. So I successful stitched the pages to the publication.
