I have gained inspiration from these publications and others during my research. I have looked into different aspects such as type, format, layout, stock considerations etc. From ‘The Easy Handbook of Typography’ I really liked the title design with the use of the badge and ribbon aesthetic and it gave me ideas for my own title design. The ‘Little Spines’ publication gave me an insight into the varied options for binding and the creativity you can have with it. I liked the square format from ‘Ethics & Design’ and how the separate aspects have been linked together. The stock used on the cover is also attractive. Finally, I found the bright contrasting colours on ‘I Love’ really eyecatching and different, I also like how opposing pages in the spread are different colours, creating a further contrast.
