When designing a leaflet or book how the paper is folded and put together is a vital part of the design process different qualities and styles of binding can really effect the overall feel of the designs. I have been given the task to look paper folding and create an informative folded paper design and instructions on how to make it within the actual design.
This publication showcases a folding technique that creates many various combinations of pages together. The way the designs come together on all of the pages folded out yet can stand alone shows the thought and care put in to this publication. The paper stock and how it is has been foiled and embossed shows the levels of care and effort put in to this small publication. This is important to consider when designing any kind of printed publication. Attention to detail in paper stock can really change the personality of a publication.
I have designed my own folding publication on a technique I am very familiar with and have used before. This is important in creating a guide to as it the designer really needs to know the ins and outs of what he is informing the reader on.
As shown above I have used a minimal and simplistic style using 0.25 strokes for all the boxes and a simple and readable typeface. This is because I wanted all the emphasis to be on the process and make it as clear and easy to read as possible. Overall I am very pleased with how the leaflet came out and I feel I created a design that can be understood and read with ease. This task has helped me understand the importance of paper folding and stock and what it communicates about your work and what kind of impression a high quality of both creates.
