I have chosen to research into handbooks / small leaflets as that is what I would like to create for this project.
The publication's information will revolve around being helpful to person's whom have just started on their voyage of First year Graphic Design and information which could have benefitted them and would have benefitted us to know, months ago, when we began.
Four categories will be contained in the book:
Home life (Living with flatmates, general Leeds city life)
Studio life (Producing work in the university studios, getting on with your class mates)
Coursework (Keeping on top of your projects, importance of each brief)
Preparation for 2nd year (Encouraging to get placements as early as students can)
PROPOSAL:
TO CREATE A 10 PAGED HANDBOOK TARGETING THE SPECIFIC AREAS OF: HOME LIFE STUDIO SPACE DESIGN WORK PREPARATION FOR THE 2ND YEAR AIMED AT 1ST YEAR STUDENTS WHO HAVE JUST BECOME MEMBERS OF THE COURSE, RATHER THAN TARGETING STUDENTS.
TONE OF VOICE:
THE TONE OF VOICE CONTAINED IN MY HANDBOOK IS ONE OF A RELAXED AND JOKEY NATURE, BUT IN THAT APSECT, THE INFORMATION WHICH I INTEND TO CONVEY TO THE STUDENTS IS SOME WHICH I WOULD WANT THEM TO TAKE ON BOARD AND LISTEN TO, FOR THIS REASON IT WOULD HOPEFULLY STICK TO AN ENGAGING BUT LIGHT HEARTED FEEL.
EXECUTION:
I INTEND TO CREATE A 10 PAGED PAPER BACK HANDBOOK WHICH WOULD MAKE USE OF SCREEN PRINTING METHODS ALONGSIDE PHOTOGRAPHY, AS A COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO CREATE A PUBLICATION. 60 OR MORE OF THESE COULD POSSIBLY BE PRODUCED.
AIM:
THE AIM OF THIS PUBLICATION IS TO INFORM 1ST YEARS OF WHAT YOU COULD KNOW AT THE END OF THEIR YEAR, THE HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS WHICH MADE OUR LIVES AS 1ST YEARS EASIER.
