RESEARCH SUMMARY AND MINI READER DRAFT:
TUTORIAL 210526
—————————————
NOTES:
General – cohesive, coming together. Only thing that feels off is the boarding pass.
BOARDING PASS
– Massive HELLO at the start! Something to get some interest in there
– Perforation is enough to mirror the conceit of a boarding pass, does not have to mimic too overtly.
– Needs to contribute to the reading experience rather than be a gimmick.
– Flip 180 degrees…
– Set text straight too
– QR code at the bottom
– All set in Axo sans to match the main booklets
– Worth investigating a lighter stock
– Add something for adults about bibliography etc at the end
MAP
– Lose the lines, ‘draw form the UK to JAMAICA’.
– Add instructions for kids to connect the countries, put that at the top maybe, don’t need the lines? Not sure.
– REVERSE – confirmed to include ‘Outro for adults’, ‘Index of Key Terms’ for adults, list of Figures of each booklet (fig 1, fig 2 etc). Citations need to include the adults, so both kids and adults can go deeper..
– INDEX OF KEY TERMS
– Add colophon
– Mention where the map comes from in the text
– Could there be an intro ‘go deeper’, on the folded back page where typography line is currently?
FOLDER
– Name on the inside front (commission stamp, Axo)
– Piece of copy about learning together, or a CLOSING STATEMENT on the back inside panel (commission stamp, Axo sans). Well done for learning together.
– Title on spine, commission stamp Axo sans
– Heavier impression with main copy on back
BOOKLETS
– Card outer covers confirmed, slightly lighter card stock to stop the bounce, print at home, revise positioning. BOUGHT FROM SHOP.
Riso block colours will get quite messy, lots of rubbing.
– One more pass over the last three booklets, HISTORY spread of UNIFORM as an example, quite sparse compared
– Setup is flexible enough for have some spreads more photography heavy
– IF TIME – look at standardising the stamps, customized Axo sans instead of the very stamp-like
– Is there an argument for stamping everything? Restrict it to the outer folder? This is probably too much (time and money also)
– Add self inking stamps to the pack, present it with it
MINI READER
– Lose thumbnails
– use ‘ME’ not ‘DAD’
– Standardize position of black boxes throughout, Ella conversation a nice conceit
RESEARCH SUMMARY
– Add in personal stance and Matthew C comments
– Can glossary of terms be folded in to the writing?
– Confirm own position in relation to the project, can I do this at the end? ANSWER THE QUESTION at the beginning
SUMMATIVE SLIDES
-WHAT ARE THE KEY MOMENTS THAT GOT ME TO THIS PPOINT AND HIGHLIGHT THOSE
– NEEDS A STARTING POINT, could this be a previous iteration
– Timeline conceit, focussing
– Image of daughters hand stamping
SHOW
– Broad overview, but what you do say do in detail .e.g structure of booklets grounded in interview with teacher. ‘Informed by’
– Starting point needed –
Filled-in iteration for the show, ask a family or Ella to do it
– Present with self inking stamp
