Type and grid

Construction

Before you can apply a grid you must understand the requirement of the grid in order to produce the work 
before drawing your sketches consider the number of columns needed 
for example one column only for text and images gives little freedom of layout
restricts wether you make illustrations small medium or large.

thee columns allows the opportunity to arrange accommodating text and illustrations in numerous sizes, you could also subdivide the three column grid into a 6 column arrangement.
disadvantages of 6 column systems are 
lines of text will be narrow
small typefaces will have to be used 
but this solely rests in the function which is to be performed. 

For figures, graphs and trend line publications use 4 column grids, they can be divided into 8, 16 and 32. 

The width of a colunm dictates the size of the typeface. the rule is the narrower the colunm the smaller the typeface 

Make a variety of thumbnails of designs /layouts

• 
  
• Do not just rely on one set of thumbnails 
• Enlarge an small selection of thumbnails by 1.1
• Compare them and select and repeat until you are confident with the design

Apply type to the columns 

the first line must fit flush to the top limit of the column grid

The last line ,just fit on the bottom limit

TASK 

produce a folding booklet which is minimum 5 pages and maximum 16 pages, use content from current projects, use a grid and change it throughout the booklet.

Experimentation for Card Design

I have created these illustrations in order to reduce 4 patterns to apply to items with will be able to be sold in a set or individually with the card designs. 

Pattern 1- Roses

Fibpnacci sequence

In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci series or Fibonacci sequence are the numbers in the following integer sequence:

 (sequence A000045 in OEIS)

By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.

In mathematical terms, the sequence F_n of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation

with seed values

The Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo of Pisa, who was known as Fibonacci. Fibonacci's 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been described earlier in Indian mathematics.By modern convention, the sequence begins either with F₀ = 0 or with F₁ = 1. The Liber Abaci began the sequence with F₁ = 1, without an initial 0.

Fibonacci numbers are closely related to Lucas numbers in that they are a complementary pair of Lucas sequences. They are intimately connected with the golden ratio; for example, the closest rational approximations to the ratio are 2/1, 3/2, 5/3, 8/5, ... . Applications include computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique and the Fibonacci heap data structure, and graphs called Fibonacci cubes used for interconnecting parallel and distributed systems. They also appear in biological settings, such as branching in trees, phyllotaxis (the arrangement of leaves on a stem), the fruit sprouts of a pineapple,the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone.

10 things Good About Fiarytales

10 good things about Fairy tales 

1. Appeal to everyone 
2. They are underlying moral lessons 
3. Can be illustrated nicely 
4. Send you to sleep 
5. Everybody knows them 
6. They are comforting 
7. They teach children life lessons in an entertaining way
8. It teaches children to project their thoughts beyond themselves
9. for a growing imagination 
10. get interested in history

1. fairy tales weren't originally intended for children - they have very adult themes - cannibalism, murder, incest, 
2. From early childhood, girls are read fairy tales about princesses who achieve vast riches simply because their beauty makes them special. That's a powerful message that can inhibit young women who feel they do not meet society's expectation of what it means to be attractive.
3. Fairy tales don't provide positive images about groups who are not white, middle-class or heterosexual
4. Step families get a very bad press
5. They suggested that fairy tales' messages of how looks can label a person as good or bad are harmful to children. For example, evil was associated with ugly in 17 percent of the stories. In many tales, ugly people were punished
6. t children do not like step mothers... in 99% of fairy tales the step mother is always mean and wants to get rid of the children
7. unrealistic expectations of love and romance...what little girl doesn't dream of a prince on a horse after watching Sleeping Beauty
8. They can sometimes be very violent
9. They can cause nightmares
10. they can teach children wrong lessons such as Stealing is wrong, of course, unless it's stealing from an ugly person
