the book

For the project response report book I have been trying to use a format and look that really shows what the theme and mood of the collection of tailored jackets that I designed.
So, after playing around with a few ideas the book is made to look like an old leather passport wallet on the outside. On the inside in the background is the inside of the wallet and all of the information has been placed in a way that it looks like someone's travel documents and holiday snaps, etc sitting inside the wallet. Everything looks a little bit crumpled/used.

The contents page is like an itinerary for travel rather than an ordinary contents page and I chose to use a font that I thought went with this idea, something that looks quite typewriter-ish. Then I have the information about each jacket sitting on an airplane ticket in the same font, displaying the function and features. The technical illustrations and other written information sit on a background of a piece of paper sitting in the wallet. For the fashion illustrations I have made a separate document, that will be stuck into the book and fold out like a map. Similarly, a few photos from the photoshoot will flip out of the book, a bit like those little consatina fold out photo display things people sometimes have in their wallet.
