No. Zine - Mine

Just got these zines from No. Zine. I have blogged about them a million times before. I just wanted to show all the little details like the stamp on the front, the two colours throughout the books and the black staples. All of these look amazing and make me want to buy more, which is obviously the point. I want my zine to have some nice details in like this, not just a zine but something a bit more.

Urban Outfitters Look Book

This is another look book that I picked up in the Sates. It's a really cool layout, again printed on shit stock, the cover is un-coated and the inners are coated. This type of layout seems to be very 'in' at the moment, I personally really like it and try and use it more and more. It is structured whilst looking pretty free. The whole center aligned type and overlapping onto images is something I also draw inspirations from.

These are just some of the things that I have been looking at for this FMP. There are obviously lots of other things that I have been looking at but have forgotten/not written down. My fault.

Process - Grids

This is just a quick example to show people that it is a tight grid that I use and stick too, they images that may look a little scattered aren't ever really scattered, they have been stuck into a 8 column grid with a baseline grid for the bottom of the images and text. This works well and look great once the grid is turned off. 

This is pretty much what I use for most of my work but have now upped it too a 12 column grid.

Process Poster

I thought I may as well have a go at a poster that showcases the book. I have used the same images that are on the cover as I have on the poster in the same style, gridded but looking scattered. I have also mentioned what is in each section i.e. processes and designers. I think this poster will look nice next to the book and it is something a little extra if the book was a product.

The book has come and it looks amazing, the same weight, size and feel of the look book I blogged about, but with different feeling paper, still recycled, but coated.

Tom Sandberg - Posters

These are some posters from Thomas Sandberg. I really like the idea of having some posters that come free with a photography book. It showcases the photography and would become the talking point of a room. These are really cheap and are given away with any purchase on the site Hassla (the three last posts on the blog are from Hassla).

Love and Before, Green and After - Marcelo Gomes

This is a photography book that stand out quite a bit. The cover is simple and too the point with some nice and simple type. The inside has a different array of images. It has different sizes and different layouts. This is something I would like to incorporate for my book. I really think that different sizes work.

The Beginning - Ola Rindal

This book is a little different. It is printed and bound very nicely like a 'proper' book.It showcases the photography really nicely and I want to do that with my book. The photography is really good of Paul's and I don't want it to wash out or fade out with a load of other books.

The Holster - Sam Friedman and Gary Fogelson

This is quite a nice photography zine because it uses black and white and colour within it. There is the colour stamp on the front and all the pages are on a coloured stock, this gives it a different feel to the normal photography zines.

Jeff Luker

This is a very simple photography zine. I want to create something a little more visually stimulating for the zine because I don't want it to fade out into the crowd of photography zines. There are a lot the same types of zines so I want to have a go at something a bit more up to date.

American Apparel Look Book

This is something that I picked up in the states. It's a pretty cool little format. The stock is shite, it looks like it has been printed for a pizza takeaway but the layout is pretty cool. Nice structure and grid to the type and the photographs are laid out differently so it doesn't get boring to flick through.
