In the end for my publication I combined all of the content. Originally I had planned to create 3 separate publications that would go into a sleeve. But as I started designing I thought it would be best to combine all the publications into one. I then decided to split the publication into 3 section of different parts for each person. 

I made this decision because I think it would make it flow better, by showing a continuation of stories rather than cutting it off and moving to the next one.

Week 14 - Changes Made For Final

Before I placed my publication in a mockup, I checked my final design. I saw a few changes I wanted to make.

Before:

As seen above the writing and the lines aren’t aligned which I needed to fix.

After:

Next to all the sections (PART ONE, PART TWO, PART THREE) I also added the names of the participants of which section they are in. To me by adding this it shows who’s part is which. 

I also made changes to all the text in the photographs sections of my publication.

Before:

After:

The changes I made was adding colour to the text above the images. I did this for all the pages with images. I also aligned the text to the image for the description.

Week 14 - Mockups Final

Cover Page:

Introduction Page: to introduce the publication and the participants.

Part One: Alana Katigbak Double Page Spread

Part Two: Raymund Santos Double Page Spread

Laid out spreads of one of Raymund’s chapter with the cover page.

Part Three: Meg Panlilio Double Page Spread

Poster Series of Alana and Raymund’s story.

Meg’s Poster with tube

What I changed:

I got rid of the laid out spreads of the images for each person. To me I didn’t like how it looked with the other mockups as well as it became repetitive, having the same mockup used over. I instead replaced this with laid out spreads of one of Raymund’s chapters.

Week 14 - Changes to Posters

After looking at my posters I didn’t like the hierarchy of the text, as to me it wasn’t visibly seen. I decided to make the changes to make the title of the poster larger and the numbering system smaller.

Before:

After: 

This made the design have hierarchy visibly seen.

Week 14 - Mockups for Posters

I placed the posters in a mockup to make it more professional and to see what it would look like visually.

Week 14 - Final Posters

After the creation of my posters I was satisfied with the outcome of all. Each person has their own poster which is represented by their colour. 

The next step I have to do is to place them in a mockup.

Week 14 - Posters

It was previously mentioned to think about creating posters. Since I already have existing illustrations I decided to create posters last minute to include with the publication as I wanted an extra artefact to be included.

Originally my plan was to use existing illustrations from my publication.

Poster #1

Poster #2

Poster #3

After much thought I got rid of the idea as I didn’t want to reuse the illustrations I made. I wanted to create something new. 

I decided that I would use existing elements instead rather than using existing illustrations as a whole.

This process was easy as all I needed to do was to pull elements through from my existing illustrations I made for each person. Since my publication is divided into three I also decided to make 3 posters in total. This is so that each person will have a poster to themselves that showcases their story. 

I started placing elements on the page and played around with the placement.  The first person I created a poster for was Alana. I didn’t like this creation as the text was too big as well as the middle pictogram took up a lot of space.

After continuing playing around with the placement I was able to come up with a layout design I liked. 

I liked the over all design as these are the illustrations that can be seen in Alana’s section. The only problem I had with this was that the text was too small.

I slightly changed the poster, moving elements around.

I made a few changes adding things and getting rid of things as well. 

I was satisfied with the layout design and thought to continue the outcome with the other participants. 

For Raymund’s poster I started designing, bringing in elements of illustrations evident in his section. I followed the style I used in Alana’s.

I continued developing the poster, moving things around. 

Final Design:

After doing Raymund’s design I moved on to Meg’s, creating the same style and layout. 

When it came to Meg’s design it became easier for me as I already had experienced with the other two and I knew what I wanted in the end.

Week 14 - Mockups

I placed my final publication design in a mockup to make it appear more professional. 

Cover:

Introduction Page:

Alana’s Section:

Raymund’s Section:

Meg’s Section:

I decided to use two mockups for each person to show variation. I made the decision to showcase one double spread page for each participant as well as display the images I included of them when they were little.

Week 14 - Illustrations & Meaning

The illustrations I created have meaning behind each one that follows the story it is placed with.

Alana’s Illustrations:

Raymund’s Illustrations

Meg’s Illustrations

Week 13 - New Design

Week 13 - The Changes

The original plan was to have the introduction of the publication be as simple as this. Having text placed on the middle.

But I thought about the feedback I was given before during one on ones and decided to fill in the space I have. This is also for the text to be more visible.

After:

I made the text bigger for it to be visibly seen as well as I included the participants name to fill in the empty space on the left hand side.

I also moved all the text from one side to the other.

Before:

I didn’t like the placement of the text because as it is, it looks fine digitally. But I thought about what will happen if it was bound. Moving it to the other side would be my best decision.

After:

Week 13 - Publication Refinements

Week 13 - More Changes

The cover page I created looked too simple. I wanted to incorporate the colours used in my publication, to add a pop of colour rather than keeping it black and white.

Before:

After:

Your eyes are more drawn to the image due to the colours. I also replaced elements in the illustration, moving things around.

After the front cover the original plan was to use black as the background for the next page.

Before:

I liked the idea then but as I continued to look at it, it felt like it didn’t fit in and was too dark. Instead I replaced it with the colour yellow, for it to be an introduction to who’s going to be the first person they see (Part One: Alana Katigbak).

I decided to make changes to my contents page as well as I didn’t like how it looked. 

Before:

After:

I added lines to divided each chapter as well as wrote down the parts to separate them.

[andream702]

Week 13 - More Refinement

After working on the content of my publication I started working on other pages I hadn’t focused in for a while. I made changes to my front cover, creating a new illustration rather than reusing what I created.

Before:

After:

I also started creating my contents page to make it easier for people to naviagte.

I also coloured in the inner pages after the front cover since I didn’t want it to be white. Instead I replaced it with balck.

Originally I had nothing planed to put anything after Meg’s images, I was gonna leave it blank.

I thought that the space was a waste and made the decision to add text to fill in the space.
