TASK
go on a journey in a group of 6
translate the journey into the book form
no content is needed, focus on form and materiality
- title of book
- size.. how many pages
- stock
- cover
- format/ bind
- layout (grid)
- orientation of book
and why?
*readers' experience
ROUTE
From Leeds Arts Uni to LUU Student Union
WHAT WE THOUGHT OF
- using a pamphlet stitch for the spine
- use tracing paper for the last half of the book cuz it drizzled when they headed back. However, suddenly changing the pages from normal paper into tracing paper would not look nice, therefore we decided to just stick the tracing paper on top of the last few pages .
- took 36mins for the walk, we decided to make the book in a concertina form to show the "never ending" like journey. the concertina form also shows how dull and regular it was to walk from uni to the union, nothing really happened and the walk was really stable.
- as the walk was 1.13km we decided to scale the distance down into 113cm for the size of the book
- for the paper stock, we decided to use neutral tones for the stock. The colours are easy on the eye but still easy to look at
- 36 folds
- make it really boring and dull
- pages are not in the right order cuz people were walking in different directions and gave the walk a really messy feeling (too hard to read)
- overlapping images to show how things were jumbled up during the walk
- off white smooth plain paper
- make the book really small in size to look like a handbook and easy for carrying to school
- Dom suggested us to make the concertina extended into different directions to show how people were walking in different directions - 10cm x 10cm squares for linking them to different directions
- make a turn at every 113cm
- 22, 10, 3

OUR WALK
Our route is from uni to the LUU student union. As I needed to attend the embossing induction in the middle of the walk, I only participated in half of the walk and then I headed back to uni for the induction. Anyways, we talked about the walk after the induction ended and my group mates provided a lot of descriptive information
KEY POINTS
- dull
- cold
- a lot of different people passing by
- drizzled a bit when they headed back from the union
- 36 mins walk
- walked for 1.13km
COVER
For the cover, we decided to use a hard cover to make the final outcome look more refined, as the concertina might be too messy to look at and too fragile to hold.
FORM
The form of the book is a concertina that pops out from different directions. It is to communicate the idea of different people walking from different directions. Also, when audiences unfold the publication, they will have to put a little bit of effort in reading it and that correlates to the never ending feeling of the walk.
LAYOUT OF IMAGES/ TYPESETTING
For the inside of the book, images would be placed really close to each other and text will be overlapping on the images. This way of placing text and images is to show how busy the roads were when we walked by and how people were waking passed by each other in all different directions.
STOCK
As for the stock, we decided to add tracing paper on the last few pages of the book. This is to visualise the rain of the last part of the walk, showing our visions when it rained and everything looked blurry.
THE FINAL MOCKUP
- 36 folds
- concertina form to show the continuous and never ending route (A turn in every 1.13cm)
- concertinas in different directions show people coming from all different directions
- tracing paper at the back to show it rained when we were heading back
- made it square to show how regular the route was
- packed layout and text to communicate the jumbled up feeling
