Colour Fiction Adjustments and print plan

-Stock that will take well to colour, preferably crisp white.
-Stock that can be coloured on in felt tips as well as pencil crayons, stock which wont be ridged in to, to allow ease of colouring.
-Passport book size, enough space for colouring and to be a handout
-Places it would be distributed are schools, book fairs, party bags, art shops. Young audience, primary school ages. Can stretch among most years as it is not a serious formal booklet, but for own personal preference and development/interpretation of colour theory and a way to build on this knowledge.
-concertina style as I have never used folding techniques before and it allows the ease of colouring in the drawings without having to bend previous page.
-zigzag of concertina makes it desirable to have for fun as a child and relates to the carefree, relaxing, yet education of self awareness
-Most of space on page to be used but well balanced between figure and ground/whitespace. Also as the concertina is relatively small as a handout.







Adjusted vectors, after it was suggested my own worked better to be filled in and worked in harmony with the others rather than using all overly detailed internet images.

As for the typeface, Whitewood Hollow which is uncensored and unevenly kerned when applied in titles and do not all work in the same size to fill the page. Although this visually is my favourite personally, its practicality isn't strong enough.


Dill contends as the clearest and most childlike of the 3 due to large spacing with still being thickly outlined. I will try variations of the kerning as due to its space, letters being tighter won't be as much of an issue in terms of legibility. 



Output


are the most popular choices due to the thick contrasts, and are versatile to the bright colours of the front and plain pages within, and can also be coloured in.

Dill was chosen as it is the most well functioning typeface in terms of sizing on pages due to various lengths of words and is the least handwrendered which means spacing is more even. I really liked the first typeface and thought it's unconventional kerning qualities and thick slashed outlines worked with the publications creative freedom and how it isn't meant to have the right colour answer, and the typeface not being perfect resonated with this. However, when put in to perspective next to the vectors Dill is the most appropriate typeface to go with.
