My research project:
- Identifying the fundamental principles of layout and structure within editorial design and publication, and focusing on the impact of successful layout.
- Suggesting that grid systems are the foundation/structure of everything
- Really broad subject area, which needs refining. Have a good amount of research so far, but it needs refining into a more direct focus.
What Im looking at currently:
- Roles and significance of layout
- Grid systems - focus?
- Hierarchy of information
- Do features influence the consumer?
- How structure/grid is used as a device/mechanism
Sources I have looked at so far:
- The Secret Law of Page Harmony
- The Grid Book; Hannah Higgins
- Layout; Amborse and Harris
- Grid Systems; Josef Muller-Brockman
Feedback
When presenting my ideas to the class, the feedback I received was very useful as I had come to a standstill with the research project.
The research project needs a more refined focus within my subject area of editorial design.
WHAT IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE?
- Look at fashion publications for focus? (main interests when looking at editorial design/publications)
- Analyse and compare different publications, which cater for different consumers (different types of publications, lower end and higher end)
- Carry out a visual study (compare layouts)
- Look art art culture within fashion
- What is the layout used for and why?
- Impact depends on not just the design itself, but where and how it is seen.
- SYSTEMS OF DESIGN
- Practical: redesign? Or analyse redesign
- What impact does the layout have on perception of the publication?
Look at:
Pop
Kaleidoscope
Independent
It is important to take note that the specific rules of layout and functions and structure don't necessarily influence the typical consumer.
