YB - MEeting

We had a really successful meeting today, the agenda for it was:
Work out the pages in relation to info and images
Work out who's doing what
Work out images realting to disciplines
Work out initial deadline

So we started out by working out the main points of each discipline, in relation to the images that we have taken and how they can fit within the concept of the book:

1. Material culture - Physical process, contextualistation
2. Drawing and Colour - Drawing, process and Tactility
3. Historical and Conservation - Heritage of design, inspiration
4. Ecology and Sustainability - Sustainable design, inspiration
5. Slow crafting - Craftsmanship, production
6. Culture - space and abstract
7. Progressive technologies - Laser cutting, process, production



Now that we have these titles and overviews, its a lot easier to place the images in relation to the book,
We decided that we wanted all the disciplines outlined at the beginning of the book so that the rest followed the narrative, and it helped outline the way the book would be read and viewed.


We then went through the book and allocated page spread to each section, initially we thought a double page spread per discipline but soon worked out that would take up too much room, so we instead will do 2 disciplines per double page.




We worked out that excluding the information pages, each section (initial ideas, development and final) would have 22 double page spreads each. Which works out well to showcase their work. 

After working out this, i wanted to try and allocate the style of photographs within the disciplines so we went through all the photographs, from the ones we took and the ones that they had supplied us with. 



We also allocated who was working on what:
Sam and Paul - Images, working out the layout and style of photographs for the sections
Sai and Robyn - Brand imagery (Sai front cover) Typography, and layout of type (Robyn)
Will - Help with images and book cover designs.
