Brief 5 // Notebooks // Fact File Design

The design of the fact-file is going to be kept quite simple, I will design it to A5 to be in keeping with the other notebooks. As it encompasses all the facts about bookbinding and the research collected, it will have an element of a information booklet / fact file aesthetic.

Master page - The master page has a simple design, leaving a lot of room for the content to be displayed on the page. Within the layout the page number takes the top left corner, leaving the top right to display an information sign, this just indicates the fact it is fact file. 

Contents page - keeping it short and simple, the contents displays the main sections with sub headings below. 

Title pages of the fact file, these are at the beginning of each section and highlight which section you are reading. Underneath each section is small description to inform what that section is about. 

The design of the fact file is based on a 6 column grid. Each body copy column is spread over two of the grid columns. Using the 6 column grid, allows the spreads to be moved around and show some variety throughout the book, but also keeps it a consistent design running through.
