Booklet editorial design
I have been putting the finishing touches to my booklet that i am going to use to showcase the project. The editorial design i have chosen is clean. I have chosen a bold, crisp typeface, Lot, for the title page and have used illustrator to break up the lettering to show 'fragments'. This typeface is contrasted by my handwriting which i have scanned in for a personal touch. A serif typeface was chosen for the titles as it gives the editorial a classic feel.
The colour scheme is a cool gray colour with varying tints, as this is a calm background colour for the bright colours of the posters. There is a splash of Cyan for some type to add colour. The booklet is divided into four sections on either side - and the posters bleed off the edge in various positions to give the layout balance. The posters are held in various ways that relate to the subject of the poster.
I will be printing about 50 of these booklets that can be distributed at the exhibition.

booklet printing
I have been investigating printing my booklet to showcase my final posters on newspaper. I was hoping to find a printing press that would be able to print it on 42.5g paper. However, after many phone calls and some research it seems that this is not possible as specialise printers are needed and the amount that i want to print wouldn't make it cost effective to print.
Also, to print double sided on A2 is unmanageable and not readily available therefore I am going to get my final booklet printed on A3 80g paper which is the lightest available, double sided. I propose to get 50 printed which will then be folded into a booklet and distributed at the exhibition.
