Creative Report SB1: Production

Preparation for print and finish

The black type on the cover will be finished with silver foil. The publication will be printed on matt stock with the cover possibly laminated to give it a gloss finish referencing the magazine layout the publication was inspired by. The publication includes some of Elaine's work in the design format of the rest of the publication. The other images in the publication are my own illustrations based on the photos Elaine has sent me. 

Printing

Instead of printing A4 it was more effective to print A3 so the publication would be closer to the typical A4 magazine layout which was also fitting of the content. Matt paper was selected to give the publication a smooth finish in contrast to the textured watercolour pattern used in the layout. The Publication will be perfect bound giving the publication a higher end finish over staple binding fitting of the high end aesthetic visualised in the fashion industry. Black ribbon will be added to connect the publication to the fabric element of fashion while also tying in nicely to the contrast black typography.
