Today I had the Hand in of text and image. I felt confident about what I had done. My favorite pieces were my editorial illustrations. I feel they are the strongest out of everything I had done, I included parts of all the work I had done in text and image, such as letterpress and vernacular typography.

We also had our Amnesty International brief given out. I have started looking into posters and campaigns they had already used. I was not to sure of the work the charity Amnesty International does, so I did research at their website and books. I found out that they are a charity who help with lots of issues to do with human rights all over the world.

I started to learn about book binding today. I created 4 different styles of book binding, first was Japanese where you do a cover and pages inside, and stitch the side to bind it together.

A 16 page bind with stitching in the middle to keep it together.

A fold out book, which could turn into a poster. A single sheet of paper folded into 8 equal sections with a slit in the middle to fold it up.

And another single piece of paper to create an accordion style fold out, which is all linked together to create a book.

I really enjoyed making these books. I found the Japanese style the most enjoyable to do, although my favorite style was the fold out book, but i found it hard to make it all equal and to find up well.

Today I learnt how to use Quark. I started by creating a document with the measurements I got given. The added a bleed, margins, and put in images and text by using the text and image box tools. I found this program easy to use after a while, although I found it quite limited on the things you can do.
