Print mock ups

Final pictures for the YCN competition brief I have undertaken with Marty, The project was undertaken in a relatively short period of time. This was in fact intentional as we wanted to challenge our selves to a fairly quick turn around regarding this brief to essentially see if we could do it. There up sides and down sides to this the down side is limited time initially but the up side is that because it is a competition brief we can revisit it before the actual hand in.
Billboards
One of the ideas with this brief is to really get the message across through alot of different medias pushing people towards the web based stuff.
Churchill App mocked up
We thought it would be a good idea to develope an application to link all of the screen web based media together. This was unfortunatly fairly quickly put together and therefore I think it could be more user freindly and have a slightly better interface.
Online Churchill mocked up
The base of our concept is around the idea of social media helping to compunicate a point, in this case making Churchill famous. We've mocked up some a website and a twitter to represent this.
Winston book
Much as the website and twitter will be for further knowledge and information the book would be a similar part of the project but it would be distributed through schools and youth organiseations and could be put in libraries as further reading.
Winston posters
The Winston posters are suposed to be funny and educational connecting with the target audience and then educating. The concept behind them is relitivley simple quotes and images a simple connection between the words and who has said them.

Final Product
Design approach
The brief I set my self was to aid my research skills both within the design of my product, learning new skills and reengaging with previously learnt ones, and the research of my content and the context of the brief.
One of the main approaches I wanted to take while undergoing this brief was exploring how the content and research undertaking could directly influence the design, and how that would effect the way I would design the book.
As spoken about on previous boards the design of the book is to reflect the Alzheimer’s condition this is not however exclusive to the layout, I want the entire book to have a disjointed incohesive appearance. To achieve this aesthetic, stock was a consideration along with how I would bind and back the book.
Stock consideration
The book consists of six different colour stocks, including end papers, and four different weights. The colours are off white and grey stocks all having a fairly grainy texture, with the exception of the back page which is a pestle pink colour, which is smooth in texture.
The significance of the different stock colours and the way they are ordered through the book are as follows;
The colour of the stock gradually gets darker as the book goes on, although this is not a uniformed darkening of paper, the paper is darkening as the condition ‘darkens’ and becomes harder to deal with for both parties the sufferer and the husband.
Despite this the stock colours are all still fairly uniform and the gradual darkening is to avoid making the book illegible and to difficult to read.
The pestle page in the back of the book is a juxtaposition between what is written and the colour of the stock which should perhaps end as a black page, the secondary reasoning for this page is to signify a kind of relief with the unfortunate conclusion of death.
