Manhattan Fairytale

  • Maddison Buzer
The Brief: Being a designer working on any large, collaboration project, is hard work. The designing is hard, the scale of the project is hard, the collaboration with other designers is really hard. The keys to the successful conclusion of a large project are organisation and communication. There attributes will be specifically assessed when marking the project.
Your task is to design a pair of double-page spreads that will form part of a larger document that will be produced, with one full copy being manufactured for each contributor to the book. (We are looking at a mass production process here). You will each be asked to design a pair of double-page spreads (DPS) that tell (and carry) one of the Grimms Fairytales. The design should tell the story as a modern Manhattan Fairytale. The first DPS is to be a photo-spread with type and headlines, the second DPS will be mainly type (though you can add 'box-outs' and 'Spot Illustrations' if it helps the design.)
