Ok, so I figured that currently the rough layout/content of my context publication will primarily focus on:
Promotion:
- Press kits*
- Interactive reception*
- Commercial sector of gaming industry
- Mailouts*
Illustration
- Editorial
- Gig posters
- Contexts determined by more research
Infographics/Data visualisation:
- Gaming statistics
- Science facts/statistics
* Top stories of breakthrough
* Current science trends
- Vector based visualisation
Publication for:
- Commercial print
* Stock
* print finishes
- Design based illustrators
- Zines
...and I will elaborate as I get on with research.
Current brief status:
1. Content driven, image based investigation into editorial design for the Times' supplement on science: Eureka. Content to be derived from esteemed newspapers and publishers: New Scientist, Guardian and Wired. Top 10 scientific breakthroughs of 2011.
The infographic I will be producing for this project will be able to function as a whole as well as be segmented to be applied to a range of double pages spreads relative to the cover story.
Deliverables
- Infographic representative of data collected
- 20 x Double page spreads with body copy and infographic relative to story
- 10 x Cover illustrations
2. Print driven press kit for promotion of a limited edition version of a video game, with a focus on concept and distribution. Content to be sourced from game journals, magazines and hopefully emails with developers. Image to be self-derived with minimum sourcing from previous screenshots; make the game my own.
Deliverables
- Box artwork
- Map
- Packaging
