SPUR, Binding methods.

One option for binding the next issue of SPUR
would be a stab bind, made to look as if it were stapled.  Below is an example that
exploits the methods utilising different stocks
and formats.

Exploit stab bind.

Grid necessities.

Essentially where I went wrong for the first issue of SPUR.
- I want to design a coherent grid system that reflects their
   ideologies and how they want to be seen.  A flexible grid 
   that will allow for experimentation and interactivity.

The grid needed to be flexible in two ways.  It had to be 

able to be applied to landscape and portrait leaves- 

one aspect that has been carried over from the first issue.

And the second, to be flexible within itself.

MODUS OPERANDI

The book called «Modus operandi» for Barão Hutter 

Atelier is separated into three different chapters 

(requirements, create and a picture part). From a pile 

of pictures, they can complement an individual book 

for each client.

The Modus operandi is a Latin phrase, approximately 

translated as «method of operation». The term is used 

to describe someone's habits or manner of working, 

their method of operating or functioning. 

Elements

For now, I am organised.

Below includes:
A project file, including all relevant documents.  A cheap 
notebook for Am/Pm to do lists.  One gridded  sketchbook 
for idea generation.  Two small notebooks: one for research 
and notetaking.  The other for immediate responses and 
idea generation.

Final Major Project

Reflecting on what I learned last year i've decided 
to take some more time refining what it is I want to 
get out of this year and how i'll be doing it.

Everything needs to be clear.  If it's not clear to me 
then how can it be clear to anyone else.

Yearbook, Concept

Yearbook concept,
Five: 2013.


The main idea behind the concept for the yearbook is unity. Our 
year group specifically is extremely open to a collaborative practice
and believe that sharing is more profitable than not within a studio 
environment. A celebration of student congruency.

The use of the roman numeral 'V' rather than the number '5' creates
a symbol.  There is an abundance of existing semiotics that come with
the use of roman numerals.  This is a symbol that is confident, powerful,

 - A research driven, visually led brief.

For now, these are loosely the briefs I will be focusing
on for final major project.

Final Major project: Initial briefs

There are a mixture of the types of briefs that I want to 
take on this year.  Including extensions of briefs I 
took on last year, i.e. Elements, alongside competition
briefs, portfolio briefs and self indulgent projects too.


My initial thoughts were:
- SPUR, quarterly editorial, publishing.
- Elements, expansion of event.
- Cerebral Extension, refining product & concept.
- Competition brief: skills- type & layout.
- Competition brief: skills- concept.
- Competition brief: skills- visual, self indulgent.
- Competition brief: skills- type & layout.
- Competition brief: skills- software.
