I mentioned previously that I had been working to A4 landscape for my design context book. I printed out some of the pages I had been working on, and it was at that point that I realized there were some flaws in the design. For one, the images I had used were too low in resolution. I had predicted that this would be an issue, and there would need to be changes or additions to remedy this, but I hadn't realized just how much this would affect. And the second issue is the use of space. I can't explain quite what I mean by this. It just felt like the balance of space between the text and images wasn't just right.
Therefore I've begun redesigning the book. The new format, still at landscape, is now a little bit smaller, at 9 " x 7 ". This means that many of the images I had used previously can still be used at a smaller size. And in my opinion, the balance in the pages is much better. Whilst it is more constraining, I find working to this format more interesting.
