Spread display pages - your choice

I have decided to show the spreads from my book like this for the final crit, as digital print is way too busy to try and be printing double sided pages, I will print these as full colour A3's along with the mock up book so people can see how the final product will look.

Product Range- Your Choice

Your Choice- Forfeit Goblets box

this is a much more suitable and sturdy net design

This the net for the shot glass box which is part of the 'fun box' set, I will print this for the final module hand in.
Doing design sheets gave me the idea of including potential (non-alcoholic) recipes on the sides of the box that result in a rather sickly but memorable forfeit. I have kept the colours the same as the rest of the range but had to stray away for some of the ingredients but the colours still compliment each other.

Your Choice- Mock `Ups

I made a mock up of the book so I could easily see which order the pages need to go in if I were to print double sided.

I printed the Card Games book to show how the books would look,

After printing the mock up I think that it will work better with A6 pages rather than A5, and printed on a satin/ gloss finish.

After printing these mock ups I think that the white background makes it look slightly unfinished, however this might be because it is on bleach white, cheap paper.

I will experiment with adding background colour to see if it is an improvement or not.

Control: All white

This cream colour works well for all editions of the book.

I think this colour scheme is probably most successful but looks a bit muted and lethargic for a book of party games.

This gradient strip down the left edge of the book works well and would be practical if the books were to be stored on a shelf

Smaller information

This looks okay but is bordering on an economic report rather than a book of fun games, the orginal, larger and bolder text works well as type for a fun book.
