Typografia 2 - Talk Transcripts


For the purpose of the exhibition, I thought it would be nice for those attending talks to receive a little transcript of the talk they've just attended as it will allow them to go over anything they missed but also have something to take away to say that they'd been there. I produced these quick examples of how they may look.

They're A6, so quite small and colour is added using stock so that the information can all be printed in black to save the cost for the number that would probably need to be produced. Because of the small size I would also propose that they were produced in different languages instead of using the two column layout like in the event programme.

Unfortunately I haven't managed to get hold of any of the talks, because people tend not to transcribe them (partly the reason for my doing these transcripts) so all the text in these examples is just lorem ipsum, however I think it gives a good idea of how the final booklets would look and feel.

The layout on the cover stays pretty much the same and the names will just interchange along with the stock dependant on the venue of the talk. Shades of red for the stedelijk and different tones of off white for the Museum Fur Gestaltung. 

A close up shot of the bind, which although I don't think is a particularly text book bind, gives a nice touch to the booklet. I initially set the type out on the cover in the way it is without thinking about how it would be bound, but on printing the covers out, I thought it would be really nice if the lines of the thread acted like dividers between the seperate elements of cover information. This also meant that the back could look nice a tidy aswell with a single line of thread.

This bind is also the reason for the offset columns, as quite a lot of the page is lost with this bind.
