CONCEPT
â&#x20AC;&#x153;
Imagine a world without light? What would it be? What would we wear? How would we live? How different would our lifestyle be from now? Would it be the same as of when the earth only had plants and animals as its inhabitants? We are natural victims to taking things for granted. It may not be obvious but one of the main values we take for granted is.. LIGHT itself! We wake up from the light of the Sun (our main source of natural light). We use light across our digital technologies (smartphones, iPads, Laptops etc...). When darkness persist we turn on our switches for our lamps, car headlights, torches and other sources that would provide brightness within our lifestyle.

SIZING/BINDING PRINTED ACETATE OR ENGRAVED PERPLEX ON TOP OF THE FRONT COVER WITH THE PUBLICATION TITLE.. A4 SIZE
THE FRONT COVER WILL HAVE A MINIMAL LAYOUT.
BINDING OPTIONS: CASEWRAP (OR) SCREW POST SINCE I’M PLANNING ON HAVING THE COVER OF THE PUBLICATION IN ACETATE OR PERPLEX MATERIAL.
I’VE DECIDED TO STICK WITH AN A4 SIZED PUBLICATION AND POSSIBLY HAVE SOME OF THE MAIN TITLE PAGES FINISHED IN ‘TAB-CUTTING STYLE’ SO THAT’S IT’S EASY TO FLICK THROUGH THE PAGES OF EACH TREND.
I WILL ALSO CREATE SOME QR CODES AND VISUAL LOGOS FOR PEOPLE TO INTEARCT WITHIN THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES.
SOME SAMPLES OF HOW SOME OF THE PAGES WITHIN THE PUBLICATION WILL BE FOLDED OR FINISHED. (IMAGEABOVE) SOME OF THE PAGES WITH MATERIALS WILL HAVE A PERFORATED SECTION, SO THERE IS AN OPTION TO RIP A SECTION FOR INDIVIDUAL USE. (IMAGE BELOW)
TYPOGRAPHY
EXPERIMENTING WITH (HAND) CUTOUT AND PERFORATED TYPE ON THE IMAGE ON THE FAR LEFT. AS WELL AS, PLAYING AROUND WITH JAPANESE MEANINGS OF THE THREE CONCEPTS AND THEIR TYPEFACE.
EXPERIMENTING WITH TYPEFACE AND DESIGN FOR THE NAME OF THE PUBLICATION. (BOTTOM RIGHT) INFLUENCED FROM THE TWO LIGHTBULBS MAKING A FIGURE OF 8 - A SIGN OF ‘INFINITY’ RELATED TO LIGHT AND VISIBLE WATER DROPLET. PLAYING AROUND WITH THE WORD ‘VISIBLE’ & CREATING A MORE COMPACT LOGO FOR THE PUBLICATION.
