OUGD404 Design Principles Evaluation

Overall I have found this module (Design Principles) very rewarding but also importantly very fun! This module made me take a big step in the advancement of many things, firstly Studio Brief 1 helped me by advancing my knowledge in a lot of graphic design area's of which I had not really thought a lot about such as colour theory and the use of negative space, these tasks enhanced my knowledge in these areas and then took me on two the second half of the module.

In preparation for the second brief of the module Studio Brief 2 we completed a range of task that also made me become more experienced and advanced my knowledge but this was not in a theoretical sense but in more of a physical means such as an insight in to fold only booklet methods and an introduction to book binding methods of which we would take on into the final outcome of the module. Finally with some help and practice into typesetting styles through another study task I was ready for the final stage.

The actual creating of my final book I thoroughly enjoyed, and it helped me to further my knowledge of a side of graphic design I am very interested in book/editorial design.
