OUGD404: Study Task 7 - Folds

Task:

Examples of folds, analysis of production, scale and appropriateness. Provide evidence of practical investigation into awareness and usage of a range of folded publications and related pagination issues.

Produce & print an A4 Black & White guide to producing the folded publication, which is used for the guide.




This leaflet has been folded in such a way that allows for it's original, unopened size to be small enough, almost like a handy business card whilst being able to be opened up to reveal useful information. A high gsm stock has been used for this fold, given it's delicacy, anything with a smaller gsm than something along the lines of card wouldn't retain it's shape as well, nor would it fold as smoothly.



Both of these booklets are more posterzine like than a fully fledged booklet, which makes them much different to a typical booklet. Allowing for much more complex layouts such as the one on the right, with different angled photographs to match with the angled folds. In comparison to the previous example of a booklet, this one uses a lower gsm stock so that it can be folded several times without it springing back out again due to the thickness of the paper.

Booklet Option

The fold I chose to do was one that could possibly double up as a small booklet, whilst being able to stand up as almost a leaflet as shown in the pictures above.
