OUGD504 - Peer Feedback - 14/10/16

After the crit today I feel I am ready to start the production of my publication. 

• My publication will be a limited edition, numbered print showcasing both the typography and the independent shops that can be found in the devonshire quarter in sheffield.

• It will be aimed at the residents, students and regular visitors of the area so that they may own an ephemeral part of sheffield which is constantly evolving, at the time in which they lived, worked and played there

• It will only be distributed in Sheffield / the independent shops found in the area so that you have to visit / live in sheffield to get your hands on a copy.

• It will talk briefly about the events and famous places that can be found here at the front of the book, leaving the rest of the pages to be left fairly minimal with just a postcode and a symbol.

• The book will either be perfect or glue bound with a thicker stock on the cover, or bound cheaply with cable ties.

• The front of the book will be foiled to give a subtle nod to the steel works of sheffield and the cutlery works that the area was famous for producing.

• The book will have a unique appeal with a limited edition print on the end pages that forms a whole image when seen collectively with the other books in the series. 

• Photos accompanied by postcode of location and symbol.

• Photos would be varied sizes spanning across double page spreads, full bleed images and asymmetrically placed. Similar to the book 'Scars' and 'badly repaired cars.'

• lithography printed. 500 books. Each numbered and signed with unique screen print. 

• Interactive sticker sheet on the back to peel off and stick to one of the lamp posts of sheffield to make your mark there and add to the typography. You start to interact with your environment. 

• Book arranged into groups so either street names like 'Division Street', 'West Street' or into sections like cafe, pubs, shops, graffiti etc. 

REVISED

After talking to Nick the tutor he questioned whether it needed to have a description at the start explaining about the devonshire quarter and what the book is about?

Readers will feel more involved if they work out what the book is about for themselves.

Can have a key at the back saying what each page is showing.

Keep pages to a minimal with just the use of pictures.
