MAIN TUTORIAL NOTES
– Length good, feels longer without benign longer, but also looks good at this body copy size. Plenty of space.
– Contents notes on inside cover good, keep them.
– Brands – should they be more ubiquitous? No, overtly named them from an ethical standpoint but followed up with what the brand names are doing about colonial history
– Tutor likes the out-to text on inside back cover,
– References, that would be separate, back of the map? Map could be printed in 5 colours, a key system.
– Origins discussed – on close inspection of the packaging, Tate and Lyle sugar as an example, you can’t find the origin of the sugar. BUT I t has Union Jack flags on it, made it Britain since… etc.
– Note from tutor – quote marks, en dashes/hyphens marked up in tutorial
– MAP. Can work, collage good. Annotate with facts about it. Intro to the wider physicality of the Empire. That change of pace is good, A5 to A2.
It could bring it all together in a few ways. Previous unit map issue has persisted.
– MAP – bring in participation, drawing lines between the destinations and the UK. Knocking back some of the detail in the map.
– MAP. Flow and pace applies here too, A5 booklets and then a change of pace to the map. ‘It’s a really nice addition’. Tinker with it as discussed.
– Be less worried about production, open up and be more expressive. 5 colour, all the objects, each of them in corresponding colours.
– MAP – map being borrowed is appropriate.
– Image sources – kept mainly to Wiki commons, Wellcome Collection, Library of Congress.

– COVER. Go back to passport? Probably not. Simple stamp on the front, hand done, name and title on spine, copy and objects on the back.
Foiled cover wrong, this is much more sensitive. Described clean look of the cover. KEEP IT SIMPLE. Overriding title (Where’s That Really From?). Try a minimal cover using your hand stamps, try a version that’s a passport design, heat transfer versus commissioned stamps discussed
– Back cover – write copy, add the 5 objects on there, commission a stamp or do a heat transfer, as front cover
– Keep the links for binding
– NUMBER THE INNER PUBLICATIONS.
