For my Book Design I was considering to use silk screen method, to give the shine effect to title, whilst the background has a Matt texture finish, but as i was told by reception on the Westminster Harrow campus that the screen print room will be up and running in 3-4 weeks, so this becoming a barrier. To gain the same effect, I may have to consider other methods to create what I want, simply on a Trial and error bases.

Paper Manufacture by G.F Smiths (Site Visit)

Here I visited G.F Smiths, which was very useful, this helped me broaden my knowledge on paper and the ranges of textures they have to offer. The company offers a range weights and colours, they are very helpful and organised in what they do i.e cater to your needs.

For Publishing and Design Authorship, I am asked to create a book. The topic I have chosen is Hip Hop Poetry. This being a subject which I am very passionate about. People argue is Hip Hop Poetry an art form....

My aim is to create a physical book which displays poetry in a typographic and illustrated art form. The book will be aimed towards 18 - 25 year olds, also People who take an extra interest into hip hop poetry, as well as the culture.

Here I convey my train of thought, this show how I have managed my time and developed in my concept.
