Flatland ISTD : Last Module

Last module Vickie and I working on the ISTD Flatland brief.  Today we are going to be re-adressing it in order to prepare and print for submission on Friday.

There are several things to be looking at.  Firstly the stock of the chapbook itself, which was previously too thick and did not allow for it to be correctly folded.  The 200gsm originally stock used took the ink well on both sides, but was just too thick for the job. Today we need to consider a lighter weight paper, around 90 - 120gsm that is crisp enough to fold and hold its structure but also not allow too much of a ghost through the pages.

Also we will be evaluating the design side of the chapbook to make sure the typography is ironed out and that the layout compensates for a change of stock.
