THEORY TO PRACTICE - putting pages together

InDesign was going to be the best option to create the publication. In order to do this, each separate page was designed on Illustrator to the exact measurements and then placed into InDesign. This would allow for greater ease, it's much more efficient and it wouldn't cause issues when it came to making sure everything came out in the right order and on the right page etc. 
An equal number of pages are needed in order for the book to work. 
A final order hadn't been decided on yet, and things would definitely change as the publication developed. There were certain aspects that needed to be thought about, such as how the pull tab page would fit into the publication, and needing to print this and the sticker page separately. 



Here I have started to see what the pages would look like once in the publication. I feel that A5 is an appropriate size. It's compact and shows comparison to the sizing of a zine, which is appropriate as this is referenced within Meadham Kirchhoff's work quite often. If it was any larger I feel that the illustrations wouldn't work as well within the format.





Below is the final of the sticker page. This will be an interesting addition to the publication. My peers were questioned on whether or not these are something that they would bother using and whether or not the actual images were something that they would be interested in having. The feedback was positive, and it was said that the stickers and fun and quirky and something that they would like to own.
