Booklet - Layout Design

This week, me and Rhys wanted to come up with the design for the inside of the booklet. In the tutorial, we were shown different examples of booklets from different exhibitions or companies and some were really inspirational. The two of us set out to use these examples to produce our own layout that was well crafted and easily readable. This is the idea we produced.

We wanted each individual student to have their own double page so that it could include more information and better spacing for the display of work. The left page would be used for the information of the student and the right page a montage of the student's work.

Left Page
We wanted the name of the student to be displayed in large font down the side of the left page, so that when anyone was flicking through the booklet, they could see the name as they flick through and open the page of the student they were interested in looking at. Then the personal photo in the top left corner so that it's the first thing they see once opening the page. This will be a circular image as the group wanted to classify students in the subject fields that they wanted to be known best for.

The page also includes a small section for all their personal information. This could include mobile number, personal email, LinkedIn profile and a personal portfolio for their work. Lastly, the large section of the page is for a personal bio of the student. This will give a description about the student; what type of person they are, what they are interested in, what are their best skills and what they plan to do once graduating.

Right Page
Me and Rhys decided that the right page should be a montage of the student's work. We want each student to create a montage of their chosen work in their own style, so that it shows off the talents they want to be seen and are most proud of.
