- The travel guide is very understandable as it utilises photography as a key component to the design. The use of colour in the photographs alone works well.
- The journal is understandable and easy to process, however there are contradictions such as the sans-serif title and serif descriptive content. Legibility is good, but it's distracting the page rather than keeping me there. Overall though, it's interesting as a travel guide.
- It works really well - the style is sketchy and therefore reflects a scrapbook/sketchbook.
- The publication looks really good and inspirational for a travelling designer, it's not even that unstructured - it reflects the chaos of navigating around a foreign country, but in a neater way.
2. Do you think the use of grids to modify the type is too obscure? Does the body text also need to utilise these?
- The titles being separated works well without a grid, however consider the legibility of 'Park Guell'.
- Grids are a great touch - it aims the publication more specifically at artists and designers.
- The type is a little bit obscure, but after reading the rationale it makes more sense. Perhaps include this within the publication for the user to better understand intentions.
- The titles are legible enough and add interest to the publication.
3. Any stock considerations?
- A glossy or semi-gloss finish would bring out the photographs really well. Also consider such materials which reflect the texture of a bus ticket.
- Recycled paper.
- Good quality paper would bring out the photographs.
- Matte stock.
- Note book style, brown (parcel paper coloured stock), textured stock would compliment the colours in the photos. There is also quite a lot of burnt orange running through the photographs, which could be used as the cover of the publication.
