About food: title page

This is an exemple of a page that could begin a chapter
(here are two different tests)

Congratulation

How to travel?

Here is a page more finished.

Well, I do not considerate it as really accomplished, but it give an idea of what you will find in the final book, the tone and the universe.

More layout researches

Dummy

Here is a summary of the construction of my book.

It a sort of incomplete storyboard, this to show the structure of the chapters.

thirdyearabroad.com

At the beginning of this work, I was complaining about the erasmus guides offered by universities. This was the most reason I wanted to make this book.

But during my researches, I found this website very useful and actually well done and presented. It is very complete and it have the friendly tone I would like to find in my book:

http://www.thirdyearabroad.com/

But I still think that the idea of having a book, a material object, is important. The content will probably be more condensed that this website (wich is really huge). Of course, I will try to make it very personnal, and talk about my personal experience.

Practical considerations

Organisation of the work:

1. General idea, first drawings and first layout researches; structure of the content

2. Layout researches / text writing (I work these two in parallel, they have to be really linked and to work toegether). I have to think to the title pages as much as the content pages.

3. Illustrations execution (Actually I will also do this in parallel with the first things, but this is a more finished stage)

I will use color pencils and black marker. There will also be some photographs. But the most important part of the work will be the page layout, wich I will produce on Indesign.

4. Finalisation of the layout (corrections to typography, language, illustrations...)

5. Choice of the paper, printing, binding (it could be interesting to pass by a selfpublishing website, like Inky little fingers. It may cost more or less 55£ for 10 digitals)

 Type of object:

I want to obtain a little book that can be kept in the pocket and taken everywhere (type pocket book). I want a handsome object but not too precious (standard white paper, that can maybe remind flyer paper). I want it to be flexible even if it have a certain thickness.
