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?
