Week 13

Question 1

Practical assignment (observation and analysis (3 hours)

Design your own printing checklist form.


Question 2

Research, written and practical assignment (problem solving) (1,5 days)

  • Use the magazine style brochure that you designed in Module 5. Add a spot varnish to the cover and change the design to use spot colours. (You are welcome also make layout changes if you want to.) For your magazine, use a spot varnish for the cover and design it using two spot colours.
  • Make use of your checklist that you designed and prepare the file for print.
  • Decide what paper weight and type you will use. 
  • Decide what type of binding you will use, for example, saddle stich, perfect bind, etc. (See the printing terms link.)
  • Upload the print-ready PDF to your blog and post screenshots of your packaged files, and instructions.

For this task, i used the printing checklist i made to make my travel brochure ready for print. I decided plastic paper like smart flex, would be a good choice, because of it waterproofness and tear-proof properties. This paper is also not too heavy, so it can be sent in the mail.

For the binding i would use saddle stitch. Its a cheaper option, easier to turn pages and works perfectly for smaller objects, like a travel brochure.


Question 3

Homework (2 days)

  • Watch the videos provided below
  • Complete the LinkedIn Learning exercise files and submit it with your assignment

There were a lot of files to go trough here, a lot of the information was old and had little learning potential. Which is why i decided to focus more on my other tasks that gives me a lot more. However i did find the time to so one of these, sadly it woulve affected my other work had i priorotized these files.
