OUGD401 CONTEXT OF PRACTICE- Publication research

Reacting to the feedback I received from the crit, I have decided to focus on producing a fold out publication as opposed to a book. 

This is a lovely example of a simple fold out concertina that has been executed well through its layout and positioning of the greyscale image

The design above is a good example of a fold out publication similar to what I would like to create. The key element to this publication is how each fold creates it own section, I could utilise these folds by having each individual segment similar to a page of a book. The layout of each individual is also similar to what I wish to achieve. It's a very clean modern layout with large areas of white space and simple left to right ragged text.

This could also work well for my publication, it would follow the same concept, only each section will be able to be ripped out to create a Swiss flash card, the only issue with this would be the whole idea of having a large scale print on the rear of the publication would be slightly less effective because it'll be split up.

For my page/section layout I want to recreate something along the lines of this. It's very Swiss aesthetics in its features. There is obvious large amounts of white space, left to right ragged text, ample amounts of margin and gutter, and the apparent use of a sans serif font. A layout similar to this would be the obvious choice because of the relationship between the context and practical element.

The two above are examples of a concertina book, this is the second option being the fold out print. A positive feature in both of these concertina books is the fact you can have a large scale image on the back and the info on the front. However this means I won't be able to have the large scale print on the back, but it does mean I would be able to add the perforated  feature though.

Below are more examples of fold outs that just illustrate the different ways in which one can fold a sheet of paper;

Below is another page layout illustrating how I could potentially lay out my publication. This layout uses justified text which at times produces a better looking piece aesthetically but can also leave thin channels of white as opposed to the jagged mountain like margins unjustified text can leave. They're both suitable options and I think experimentation will be key through the development stages. Another feature that I am keen to apply to my own work is the use the use of the heavy weighted strokes that break up the vast white spaces.
