OUGD505 - Design Practice 2 - Studio Brief 02 - Product Range Distribution - Printing Brochure and Putting Together

I wanted to produce the booklet in a way that I felt would best emulate something you would actually find inside a care home.

I used the same typeface as the wayfinding system, Myriad Pro, inside the booklet in order to create an element of continuity and tie it all in.



The instructions inside the booklet are very brief and simple as the system is mostly self-explanatory.

A map is featured inside in order for residents and visitors to get to know they layout of the home and what zones are where.



Once the wayfinding system has been explained to you,  and how to use it, there is also a dictionary/
key-type section in which you can see which rooms are in which zone. If you were new to the home for example, and wanted to visit the library, you would be able to look inside the guide to see which zone the library is in, and where abouts that zone is inside the home.



I chose to print the guide onto glossy paper as I felt this best represented how it would actually presented inside a real home. The glossy paper gives an extra professional edge to the guide.



I chose to simply staple the guide to bind it together, as again, I felt this best represented how it would actually be presented in reality. The idea of the book is that is quite a throwaway item - once you have done with it, you would simply discard it or put it in the bin.



I wanted them to look as though they had been quite cheaply produced to reiterate this. This would also keep production costs to a minimum if they were to be printed in a real situation.
