Foil Blocking

Foil blocking has been developed using the letterpress principle. A male block is produced using zinc, magnesium, copper or brass. These are process engraved.
The block is heated on press and a metallic or coloured foil is branded on to the material. Foiled logos are incorporated into many corporate identities, used especially on corporate invitations, business cards, letter headings and compliment slips.

Foiling & Embossing

Foiling and embossing can be used on the same image, firstly foiled and then embossed. Again logos are incorporated into many corporate identities, used especially on corporate invitations, business cards, letter headings and compliment slips. 
A highly cost effective way to add metallic colour to all or part of printed products. 
Fully compatible with laser printers. 
Ideal for Invitations, business cards, letter headings and compliment slips ect. 
We can print to order on any thickness of material. 
Ideal for use in conjunction with thermography, embossing and lithography.

Zine Packaging Research








I want the Zine I make to have some sort of packaging to go with it, be it a belly band of a complete cover made, I like these examples of different packageing, and will look to these for inspiration when attempting to create my own.

Zine Packaging




This is the package the college where giving away on an open day a few weeks ago, I like it as a piece of packaging and is a design that I will be considering when developing my own packaging for the Zine.

Spacy Magazines



http://www.behance.net/gallery/IL-Istruzioni-per-luso/1191341

Much more spacy than the last post, again different to the last post I'm not 100% on the layout of this magazine but the content/imagery is much more in keeping with what I want to prosuce, I think I would be more inclined to use photography but it is still useful to look at.





This magazine looks great the gloss stock makes the shine of the space suit and space look amazing. this is perhaps what I would make if my intesions where to make a high end book or magaize surrounding space but I still enjoy the layout and techneques used and they could be related in some way to the zine I will produce.

Omni Magazine
'Omni is a publication designed to update the scientific community in Australia. Omni is a visual publication that aims to gel image and fact to make an effective informative document.'
The layout, content and general ideas behind this magazine marry up with what I would like to produce, there are of course differences in the content, but the way the images are layed out and text is added is somthing I would like to explore, thie large imagerey as seen in many of the images I have posted and with the space theme, and I'm not so bothered about the scientific community in Austrailia.  



 Although not magazines I like the old space imagery in the back ground and I am enjoying the forground font. I also like the use of Neil Armstrongs famous quote, I think quotes would work well in my publication.

Although not space related, I really like the layout design of this particular magazine. The large images with the writing over the top instead of perhaps a more convensional format with the images and text seperation. The front covers to the magazines are also somthing I would like to explore within my own work, having a single image with a title and maybe only a couple of tag lines.

The stock used on this particular piece is somthing I would definatly consider within my own work, the magazine is small and concise and the non gloss finish, works really well, I will have to experiment with different paper stocks to get the best result with the magazine I wish to make.

This magazine is just another good example of layout design, somthing it shares with the other images is the large scale pictures, I think this will be particularly relevant to my project as there are so many great images taken from space that It would look amazing in a magazine.

NASA Space Shuttle



50 years of space manned space travel


Since my mum was born 517 people have ventures out of earths atmosphere, we have built lunar modules, space shuttles and space stations and now NASA are planning a manned mission to mars. 

Paper Air Planes


I thought this would be an interesting take on how to engage people with space and the history of space exploration by making space related versions of these planes, for example the Space Shuttle, Sputnik 1, the Saturn Five rocket and even the ISS. This could be good for a range of ages, obviously children would be an obvious target audience but it could attempt to make it more widely accessible for different ages.
