Objectives:<\/strong>
After the completion of Project 3: Book Cover System, you are to mock up, document, and create a PDF presentation of your book cover system in InDesign. The PDF presentation will include a written description of your process and design rationale while providing the necessary context for each book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr. 16th: <\/strong>Submission & Work Session
> Submission of Mock-Ups & Photographs
> Prepare PDF Presentations including:
– Cover Page
– Book series introduction and design rationale
– Process \/ sketches
– Book Jacket 1 – Flat
– Book Cover 1 – Mock-Up or Photograph
– Book Jacket 2 – Flat
– Book Cover 2 – Mock-Up or Photograph
– Book Jacket 3 – Flat
– Book Cover 3 – Mock-Up or Photograph
– Book Cover Series – Mock-Up or Photograph
– Optional Animation

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONSIDERATIONS
– Proper Lighting:<\/strong> If there isn’t sufficient natural light, use the lighting equipment from the Senior GD room. Avoid taking dark or over exposed photographs.
– Orientation:<\/strong> Photograph the Book Covers as intended, ie: portrait or landscape. Avoid odd angles and cropping of the book. The entirety of the book cover must be visible.
– Background:<\/strong> Photograph Book Cover on a neutral background. Avoid obstructive or arbitrary patterns or textured backgrounds. There should be no objects, etc behind the book covers. Use white bristol or presentation board large enough to serve as a backdrop\/background when taking the photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formal Considerations<\/strong>
\u2022 Use of color palette from book system in the presentation strategically.
\u2022 Use typography from book system in the presentation (heading and body text).
\u2022 Headings should be 14 pt size or higher. Body text should be between 8-12 pt size.
\u2022 Keep in mind that the pt size of the heading and body text should be relative to each other. There shouldn’t be a drastic size between the heading and body text.
\u2022 Be aware of margins. Type should live within the margins
\u2022 Inclusion of armatures
\u2022 Hierarchy and consistent structure.
\u2022 Spelling and punctuation – Make sure to spell-check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
