My Mock Up for Book

So i put like a little polaroid of section to start that chapter off if that makes sense so say this would be within interiors, this would be tweeds. I just used in fill text on indesign for the text but i put in the larger text for words like urban and rural to get a feel for what it would look like. I used  really light teal colour palette for interiors mixed with a herritage red colour as think they work well togther. I then made the little page numbers at the bottom i put both in as dunno which one you would prefer. They could be different for each section hence why i put the chicken egg cup or the could all be the pebble. I then just put pictures on the otherside, but i dont mind if we have one or a few. However i do like charley's where you have written on the note paper and then put little bits like the man and shoe on it. I also like the idea of kirstys chaper pages i.e the fashion one you have done. I think maybe we could get these printed on tracing paper if we can find the right coloured tracing paper sheets.

My book Mock up

Hey,

This is how I kind of picture the book layout...incorporating little things like the pocket at the bottom with harris tweed material in.

This is the double page spread for the book mock up, i've used influence from the fairy-ality book but I think it could still do with some playing around. I havent used the fonts because i'd done it by the time they were up but I love them and think they represent the brand in the way it should be!
Ive also used the mustardy colour as I thought it would come under that section but it could come under other headings! Please give direction on what you think should change etc because it would be good to show the progress of several different mock ups til we get to the final one.

Visuals

I've been thinking about how the archive, book and our reports should all look visually so that they are all coherent. So I thought maybe its best if we come up with set ideas if that makes sense. So these are mine, and if you don't like them thats cool we can change bits...just let me know what you think.

The colour palette- used to seperate the sections (like the bottom image)
The Heading Text- I've done in a font which I downloaded off dafont.com and used the colours from the palette. Then for the main body of text used to same font but just in plain black.
And at the bottom i've used Academy Engraved for the section names.

Let me know what you think...if you don't think it fits FOF's personality or if you have ideas of how else we could do it!
But atleast if we have set fonts and colours and layouts then we can all use them when doing our report, book and archive mock ups.

Hi girls,

Apologies for the basic moodboard i had to use powerpoint due to lack of laptop! I really love the idea of colour coding each section and having a little pebble on each page as page numbers. I also really like the idea of using tracing paper with words on. as I have used a lot of textures on my moodboard as i think it would be really interesting to use under the tracing paper, the hay and grass connotes rural life and i think it looks quite visually pleasing!
I have put in a fashion drawing which I thought we could draw on tracing paper and have fabric swatches underneath to show the different fabrics it could be in. I also really like the little cards tied up with ribbon, I thought we could perhaps have our recipes like this?

The fonts I have used are very basic as powerpoint is limiting but I really like the serif fronts particularly the exaggerated ones, we just need to ensure that each font is legible, I think if we stick to one font for headings and titles and one for subheadings/ text then it will pull all the sections together nicely.

The colour palette that Cath Kidston uses has a nice countryside feel but is bright and breezy so I thought this would be a good colour scheme for one particular section, I also think this would be good for the archive. We could have the family in clothing that reflects this colour scheme?
I also love the idea of having the Mulberry factory production line in pictures and I thought it would be good to showcase them on polaroids scattered across the page.
Also if we are going to make up certain pages, id love to do the tracing paper page of an outift with different swatches underneath to mix and match and the recipes, what do you think? Im thinking we probs need about five pages mocked up?

Hope your both well
Charli

Book Inspiration...

Hi Guys,

So this is just a few of the ideas I have for the book.
I see it as having a welcome page like Kat said which would be nice.
Then a contents page which possibly has little symbols for each section (fashion, food etc) like on the top left of my board and set colours for each section. These symbols could appear on each page to identify what section it is and so could the colour. The symbols would be quite obvious e.g. a hanger for clothes, crops for food? Then they could have little page numbers next to them like Kat said.

For each section I think it would be nice to have a quote at the beginning to introduce it- maybe in a fancy font on a coloured background (the colour for whatever section it is) For instance, everything for food would be pale green? I think the colour palette should be influenced by like country kitchens and stuff...they have a lot of minty greens and reds etc.

Then the actual sections I see as having an image on the left hand side or possibly 4 on one page to give an overall theme… e.g. (1) similar to the cups hanging on my board as one pic, (2) a close up of one of the mugs as another, (3) a close up of one of the patterns, (4) then maybe a tea set or something like that!!
 Then the writing would be on the right hand side which would reflect the image. So the colours used to highlight certain words or part of the print from one of the mugs could maybe be in one of the corners?

The headings could be like the word Paper Crave but possibly in one of the fonts I’ve found underneath with a little pattern next to it like what is around “2010” on my board.

And then the writing for the main text could be quite simple yet have bigger words/colours like Kat said.

I’ve put a picture of a calendar in as I think it would be nice to possibly have one inside the book that people could pull out and put up on their wall with the themes of each section for different months and maybe some of the little hints and tips from our book appearing on set months. For instance, spring could be about how to plant some seeds or something and all the colours could be a pale green to match the grow your own section from the book?

I’d like maybe the bit about rural consumers and what they wear to be placed in photo frames on the wall like the bottom left picture which would like quite cool?

Annnnd finally…I’m thinking have different textured papers throughout to split up sections or to print certain pictures on.
And to have fabric samples, colour palettes, little pockets where you can pull out things and that clothing flip chart thing we spoke about to get a “rural look”.

What do you all think? Shall we pick the fonts and colours etc so we can all start having ago at mocking up over xmas?
