- Design your own printing checklist form.
- Use the magazine-style brochure that you designed in Module 5. Add a spot varnish to the cover and change the design to use a spot colour (you are welcome to make layout changes if you want to).
- Make use of your checklist that you designed and prepare the file for print.
- Decide what paper weight and type you will use.
- Decide what type of binding you will use, for example, saddle stitch, perfect bind, etc. Do some research about the options available and elaborate on why you chose this method.
- Upload the print-ready PDF to your blog and post screenshots of your packaged files and instructions.
I decided to go for this yellow spot color, since I thought It would be a nice color that pops out from the design in print.
Checklist:
After doing scrolling online, I figured I wanted a 180 Gsm, Matte paper because that weight will make the product more durable than thinner paper, and the matte coat will make it smooth and easy to read without glossy distractions. For my binding I decided to go for perfect binding, because this seemed to be quite economic, durable and a reasonable way to represent my brochure.
