OUGD505 Research book: Packaging

STUDIO BRIEF 01
RESEARCH BOOK
PACKAGING

Originally i had struggled to come up with an idea for the packaging of my research book, as it seems contradictory to package a book about modernism, as it goes against the rules of modernism. So i decided to make packaging that looked like it wasn't there. 

I started off creating this net, it is in the style of a book jacket with a pocket to hold the book in place.

I used the front and back cover of the book as the front and back cover of the packaging to create a seamless look, asif the packaging is actually the book its self.

Next I added the front cover image to the inside pocket of the packaging, this is the part that will contain the book, I measured the image so that it will align with the cove of the book image inside.

Dimensions: 

Dimensions - A5 , Width - 148 mm , Breadth - 11mm , height - 208mm

Unfortunately after printing the packaging i realised that it wasn't big enough to fit the book in so i changed the dimensions.

Corrected dimensions - A5, Width - 150mm , Breadth - 12mm, Height - 210mm

The second print fitted the book in perfectly.
