Monday Print pages ourselves using paper we selected and school printer

Ian brought up the point that there should be space for your thumb when you’re turning a page. So the margin should not be two small.

We left the meeting with a list of things we need to discuss and decide for our next meeting.

• Standardising where the bulk of the information is
• Highlighting images (reading left to right) 
• What do we want to highlight first?
• Differences – colours, paper type?
• How to bind the publication – using tracing paper, harder card paper.
• Create 7 different page layouts as a starting point – work on this today?
• Some components standardised 
• Work in progress element of the hand drawn grid 
  • red and blue on the butcher’s paper
• Components that allude to the idea that this is still a work in progress publication
• How do we intersperse our practices? 
• Want to know whose work belongs to who – colour coding? 
• How do we play with the idea of it being stimulating and interesting

• Form – pop outs
• Space – voids, see through windows
  • Swiss cheese holes that can skip to different sections of the publication.
• Materials – different paper types? Fabrics? Summer’s bioplastics? 

• Editorial summary
• Different approaches to writing? Choose your own depending on what fits your practice better
• Physicality in the publication – voids etc, test different ways of binding the publication (japanese style, different craft binding to represent the craft represented within the publication), pocket in the back of the publication like a moleskine with posters or something?
• What kind of paper do we want? brightness/whiteness of the paper
• Individual publications that we could all add together? 
• Work in progress – sketchbook kind of feel to it, raw, notes – does that become too theatrical? For children rather than a serious publication?
• Tactile element? 
• Information booklet

• Museum style handout
• Create our own spine?
