Oggau Wine
As stated on LovelyPackage:
“The Oggau Estate is a new wine growing estate that produces 9 wines with different characters. Each wine has its own individual character with its own story and complex, changing relationships. A wine family comprising of grandparents, parents and children with intrigue, secret affairs, arguments, colourful characters and the odd black sheep. A typical family clan.”

Macdonald and Thompson
Linking in to my initial ideas for the second part of the What is Good? briefing, I came across these two business cards today during the stocks and substrates seminar with Justin. Although they were aimed to detail what stocks are available to print on, as well as print finishes and paper coatings I mainly wanted to highlight aspects regarding layout... so I swiped them for photographing.
The main characteristic for me was how in both examples the type is set and aligned to the left hand side. Naturally this could be due to the way our culture reads from left to right, but perhaps if you consider that when a right handed person holds the card they also need to read it then you might see what I am trying to get at.
With business cards being a possible outlet for my What is Good? resolution, I feel that the typographical layout may be a strong design element that I need to address given that my focus is to promote and celebrate being left handed.

Monograph
"Monograph is a monthly publication from Creative Review, provided as an additional benefit to all subscribers. Each month, it showcases a personal project or body of work. Monograph is distributed with subscribers' copies of the magazine only and will not appear in newsstand copies."
As with the Canteen publication collected over summer, the main things that attract me to this feature booklet focus around the format and page layout. Particularly influential is the extent to which the document is image driven with minimal informative text. The format itself is A5; an aspect I consider to be quite rare within the industry. Yet the logic behind it makes complete sense from a printers perspective given the standardized paper sizes worldwide.
The feature that tops it off for me though, is how a thin sheet of trace separates each printed side of the publication. This gives an unexpected tangible quality to make such a straight forward document appear more diverse. It also enhances the exclusive connotation given by the description on the cover.
This is most definitely an attribute that I would like to explore within my own design for print. I am a keen admirer of the smaller details that make something feel more personal.

Canteen
Over the summer break I managed to pop down to London town to visit a friend and also have a cheeky meal at their place of employment - Canteen. It's a British restaurant that specializes in classic British food that your casual tourist would expect us to eat every day of the week. Either way this book about the source ingredients caught my eye for its vintage appearance and consequently I have been wanting to document it ever since. Looks quite like an authentic ration book wouldn't you say?
The main thing that I like about this book is the design of the page layout and the relationship that the type has alongside image. The compositions seem to flow effortlessly and allow your eye glance across without having to do any real work. This in my opinion is how a publication should be.
Furthermore the typeface choices themselves are also particularly effective, especially the bold, upper case sections of Futura.
In relation to my design for print brief, the format and layout are the two main aspects that I may draw influence from as they are highly successful and work well given the context.

Jeeyun Michaella Chung
I originally came across Jeeyun Chung last week whilst documenting the left handed notebook I got as a gift over summer. Having been on her website it turns out that the book is part of a series where there are also designs specifically for right handed and ambidextrous people.

Ambidextrous/Both Handed:
I really like the way in which the problem of peoples writing has been addressed through a simple and logical approach to design. It's one of those 'why didn't I think of that?!' situations.
What's more the colour coding works really well given the books work in a series, I'm just a little disappointed that us lefties haven't been given the special treatment...again!

p.s the stock choice is archive text paper which in addition to being designed for long life and strength also has as very nice tangible quality believe me!
