Fashion Year book - Layout Design & Final print
Year book Design decisions:
The year book was initially meant to be printed in reprographics downstairs but due to the flexibility of us printing it and needing to do it double sided it wasn't possible as we need to print spreads on a2 apposed to a3. Danny spoke to a printers and we will be getting everything printed and bound at the same place in London.
EMAIL TO CONFIRM -
Hi Victoria/Isabel,
Further to what I was saying about the book binding, I've spoken to the company and:
The over all A3 option makes it easier.
The change in pagination to 108 pages makes it easier (originally we were quoted for 200+)
As such, they reckon it can be done in 7-8 days.
They would require pdf with bleed and crop marks.
The spec that they have now is 108 page book with a printed grey board cover (we probably need to define the gsm of this). The stitching style I specified is, I think, the same as the one book fashion had - coptic stitch. The simple straight line one. Like this: http://cailun.info/uploads/books/silvercoptic_20060220_d.jpg
As such, the book will most likely be grouped as nine sections of 12 pages. I don't think this means anything from your perspective in terms of laying out the book aside from considering your stock choices: where, essentially, there are nine sections made up of six folded sheets of paper and you'll need to work out how say, page 1 will be the same paper as page 12. So you might want to group the work accordingly to make that process easier.
Anyway, they're going to recalculate the quote but it's looking better than the original quote - even with any variations in stock.
They will also send through all the guidance that they have regarding print-ready files so you have that to hand.
Cheers,
Danny

The look book cards we are getting printed will still be printed with Jason at evolution print.
After meeting with Janie on Monday and receiving some of the files Issy and i began mocking up a few layouts with what we had to show her.
Eve Mc Bennets work-
Janie really liked the development we just awaiting more content and peoples work at a higher scale and resolution. We are also waiting on the photography shoots so we can then begin to add in them images also.
