Disobedient Objects is an exhibition about
the art and design produced by grassroots social movements. It will show
exhibits loaned from activist groups from all over the world, bringing together
for the first time many objects rarely before seen in a museum.

Grids and Layout:
I have taken out two helpful books from the library about grid systems:
Making and breaking the grid, Timothy Samara
Grid Systems, Kimberly Elam
A layout and grid that I like, it's simple and effective and I like how the type is on it's side but still fully legible
Here is my A5 flyer design using a grid layout for Disobedient Objects North, I have used two fonts, 'intro' and a monospaced font that I will use for the concertina leaflet as body copy.
Layout 2- Text heavy / imagery: Concertina spread (10x A5 pages)
Background: This text/image heavy layout will ask you
to utilise body copy, title, date, and location, heading, sub heading, imagery,
indexes, highlighted quotes. The amount of text allows for the use of imagery
and the type to serve as the main visual elements.
Brief: You are to layout and design a 10-page
concertina folded brochure for a forthcoming exhibition titled ‘Disobedient
Objects North’ at People's History Museum, Manchester. All images, copy and
branding are included. You have to create a visually stimulating layout that
showcases the artists’ imagery but does not sacrifice important information in
this process. The images and information must flow harmoniously and offer a
taste of what is to be expected during the exhibition. One further
consideration may be whether you emphasise the 'North' aspect: whether the
materials need to offer a distinction between this and the V&A (London)
exhibition from 2014-2015.
Branding elements must be kept to black and
white. Images must be unaltered and in colour.
Considerations: Headings, headlines, body copy, grid, type,
colour, image sizing, bleed, margins, flow, audience, narrative, language,
purpose, size, external print methods, preparing for print, stock,
distribution.

Type
I have chosen to use the type 'Fira' in my leaflet I think the monotype font suits the exhibition well
Layout and Grid
Grids are something I would like to spend a lot more time looking at as I think they are useful and I like how not everyone instantly recognises them when you read magazines/ books but if you know they are there then you see them instantly. Throughout this excersie the use I have used a lot of books about grid as I have found that is the easiest way to learn more about them.
A column grid is a basic grid that can get quite complex
I found it interesting how more complex grids have the use of shape with image inside
This is one of my favorite grids, a simple grid with almost a portfolio style, a grid for a nike magazine
This grid uses a lot of image but thats what I like about it, I also like how the body copy isn't just in basic columns it has a use of shape
The grid that was given seemed a bit too over complicated and I wanted to make it simpler so I modified it a bit
I modified it to look like every page on the left with larger horisontal columns for my space for varied image size
Above is the final layout, this is a layout that I wouldn't normally create but after reading and refering to several books I designed a grid and came up with this layout that overlaps type and image on some creases.
Poster
For additional advertising and to look into layout further I created a poster based on a grid that I admired in one of the books I borrowed from the library.
I have really enjoyed doing this task and I think it has been valuable to learn more about grid and layouts, I am happy with the designs I have created with the use of grid and the careful placement of type and image.
