Hi everyone. welcome back to week 5 (really our week 4).

You are back in the studio today to finalise your Letterpress Postcard designs. Good luck with finishing off this assignment - aside from the timetable clashes that have disrupted us I hope it has been an enjoyable experience.

None the less we are moving forward to thinking about Project 2: BLAD (Basic Layout and Design. Essentially this project is about Book Design. I have uploaded three example BLADS to our Google Docs space. You should be able to access the folder I have put them in here.

If anyone has trouble finding these documents please let me know. I have also uploaded a new onlien lecture - Book Design to the Google Docs space. The link is on the lectures page of the blog.

There is an interesting SDtudio Research task associated with the lecture. It's designeed to get you out and about and looking at type in the urban environment. Hopefully with the outcome of inspiring your Book Project.

Studio Research (SR):
Due week 6 (Monday end of Tutorial)


Photograph found type. This task asks you to explore typography in the urban environment. Photograph and print 20 images of found typography/hand-lettering from the environment to use in experimentation for your BLAD. Select the best image and post to the blog with a description of where you found it and why you find it interesting.
