No Talking Tuesday # 123


The List:



so here i have
the cover page
in order of
audacity

that mocked up
example isn't
ideal


i would
probably vote
for the minimal
audacity

but if we can
find a
tasteful mayan
decoration that
could work, and
the animals in
the circle
thing could be
mayan figures
creatures etc.

so lighter
value at edges


so these two
pages represent
mock ups for
normal content
pages in pdf,
like you did
but clearly in
a more
pretentious
antiquated way,
and the third
thing is a
mockup of the
cover page for
a sample
document, done
in a few
different ways,
basically in
escalating
degrees of
audacity

so the idea was
(this is a very
rough example)
to have a old
style
dictionary
style
illustration of
an animal for
each document.
but after
looking at this
i think instead
of going with
this default
victorian feel
which is
completely not
relevant we
should use a
mayan skew of
the same idea,
with ornate
trimming that's
mayan and the
illustration of
mayan figures

i'ts adobes
page layout
program, like
what
illustrator is
to vector
shapes,
indesign is to
page layout, i
have a easy to
install evil
version for us
all

i didn't really
do much with
that, i did a
quick mock up
but since you
we're dealing
with it i
figured i would
focus on layout
and cover page
stuff, but i'll
show you what i
did real quick.
i just assumed
each document
would have a
cover page, so
i just thought
it would be
nice to have a
design for it

personally i'm
sort of partial
to your design.
i think it's
more sensible and
straightforward

i'm going
through
publications
looking for
stuff to scan,
but i'm not
sure how
relevant that
would be for
you, you
finished
sussing out the
server thing?


the body font
is beembo, (the
only serrif
font that
Kubrick approved
of)

i'm having all
sorts of
brainstorms
since i started
scanning in
these images,
so i can
definitely do
another version
with juns info
once that's
ready or before
