How to Install a BIG Banner

This video is a bit tedious but it is also intresting to know how large format printing is done. This is good to know as it is something I have proposed in my brief, as a part of th advertisment of the event and zine.

Spacy Magazines

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. 

Magazine Research

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.

Why use a spot colour?

There's a couple of situations where you might use a Pantone or spot colour. One option costs a little more and the other costs a lot less. 

Adding a Pantone colour to your normal CMYK is a great way of achieving colours which simply are not possible with 4 colour process printing. The example above from the Print Handbook is a great example of this. The Pantone here is a vibrant red which simply wasn't possible using just CMYK inks.

It's also possible to use a metallic or fluorescent ink which CMYK can get nowhere near in impact. It's a great way of adding an extra little something to your project.

Adding an extra colour is not as expensive as you might expect either. Here's a quote from Centreprint for printing 10,000 leaflets. In CMYK they'll cost £317. To add a spot colour would cost an extra £38. Not bad at all. 

One colour job

If you or your client are on a tight budget then using a Pantone spot colour for a one colour job can be a great way to save money. The same specification as the above quote, but this time printed with just one colour would cost £158.
