FEEDBACK
Week 6
Spesific Feedback: The layout is too clean and doesn't match with the concept of my visuals eventhough it looks decent.
Week 7
You need to include you 3000 words (Word File) embeded in the exerciase post, You also need to include the type specimen sheet that you did for Project 1 in Exercise as well. Project 2 on-going updates have not been updated. The overall look on the layout is quite good, just need some tweaks on the text as some of them are not balance with the grid. Point size and leading for body text need to be more consistent. Make the black and white background of the book more balanced. Also careful with the bleed when printing. Need to add 1 colour to the book
Week 8
Put page number and the title shouldn't be just the word 'are' that is visible. Add a visual on the back cover so the cover wont be too empty. Try to give a hint of 'b' so the word 'bare' would be more visible. Point size for EBook is good but need to make the leading bigger and avoid the ragging. The GIF is interesting and can be placed to the EBook
Week 9
The mock up is already good but the point size seems to be too big for the book. It's either you can reduce it by 1 point or increase the leading to make it smaller. The e-book is fine and the animation is suitable with the concept of the book.
Week 10
The leading is a bit too tight on Iphone e-book. Only put 1 box of body text on each pages as it is for phone. If it doesn't fit you can make the line more wider than it actually is. What should I do is to make sure the book looks like it's adapting from the actual book and utilise all the possibilities of navigation in InDesign for the e-book as it will maximise the reading experience.
Week 12
Increase the line length and leading to decrease the ragging of the text. Some of the spacing between paragraphs need to be fixed. Although it's good, some fixes need to be made on the paragraphs of E-book because to read it online is harder than physically.
REFLECTION
Experience
Although it’s easier than the previous project because I already got all the content and the layout, the problem is to make sure that the readability is still good because it needs different kinds of line length, leading, and point size when it goes to online publishing. Everything needs to be bigger and larger so it’ll be more readable.
Observation
User experience is a thing to consider in online publishing. It’s not difficult in designing online publications if we understand what user would want to see and how they would like to read it.
Findings
I realise that the online books and websites that I read actually consider a lot of things in terms of user experiences in reading. It’s different from a book where you just read it and there’s not interactivity beside that.

Title: Onprint : from the screen to paper and vice versa
Author: Laia Blasco Soplon
Publisher: Sylvie Estrada
Publication Year: 2011
Location of publisher: Barcelona, Spain
Summary
This book gives you visual guide on the process of producing printed graphic material. It analyses the aspects that should be taken into account when developing a design for a printed medium. However the book also looks into current intersection between print publishing and digital publishing. It explores the influence of traditional print publishing on design for digital media and of the growth in multimedia design on new graphic design for printing. Today the receiver is no longer a reader or spectator, but rather an active user who is able to interact with the graphic object, whether it be printed or digital.
Learned
I learned about more in-depth knowledge about how publication design evolved throughout the year. The rapid development of computer technology and in particular the expansion of the internet has given rise to new languages of communication. Graphic Designer no longer just create print products. They must know how to handle many other types of communicative objects designed for other sorts of media.
