Brief 06—Design Context Publication

Design Context was such a great brief to work on, so good in fact I probably accumulated a bit too much content a left too little time to bring it together, You could argue that everything in the book could have been blogged, and only the most important elements taken to print, but it was actually more the point that everything that was of interested, of inspiration, highlighted positives or negatives only achievable in their given medium within the four month of my FMP was all brought together in one place. Being aware of contemporary design practice is absolutely integral to the success of an individual, so this brief should have been the most important and the most inspiring for everyone. The book I got printed is pretty long, and probably indigestible in one look, but I keep picking it up and flicking through regularly and everytime I find some great print work, some amazing web function, glitches, or sometime just personal things that make me smile. All of these have inspired me over the past few months, and this book brings them all together in chronological order. Something which I feel is an only too relevant form of categorisation in an industry that is so incredibly advantageous. The only problem with my submission is that Lulu clearly didn't fancy leaving me the 6mm margins I submitted the document with.
