OUGD504 - Design for Print - Informed Production Summary

• Recycled stock for the cover and the content 

- Influenced by my research into Bristol and it's achievements - EU Green City Award

- Shows that my book considers Bristol's ethics
- Tschichold and Irma Boom contradict each other in terms of the use of white stock for the cover. Boom uses white stock as a tool to see if people actually read it.
-The grey board can be stained by the oils on fingers and surfaces so the more it is used, the dirtier it gets. Therefore it reflects Bristol's rough urban environment.
