Publication.

  • Dini Hairuddin
I made this publication in response to the task in my second year graphic design. I was tasked to tackle an article that is relevant to the book that I read over the summer break. my book titled 'The net delusion : How Not To Liberate The World' give readers an insight into the virtual cult that has the ability to gather information and gather people in the most subtle way.

The article in response to my book was 'Walled garden looks rosy for Facebook'. it was published in the year of 2012 on Guardian newspaper website, explaining the moderation that Internet continues to impose on users that subsequently acted as the virtual 'authority' and be able to block the contents based on the policy that protects them.

This is among my personal work that I've spent the most time on to make sure that the publication does not miss any IMPORTANT points from the original article. Among some of the things that I consider was the type of paper stocks to be used. The publication is divided into 2 parts;

• Brochure - Has 2 sides on it. the pattern at the back and IMPORTANT information on the other side. The paper colour is dark brown with 110 GSM
• Booklet - Size about 3.7" x 3.7, contain all texts from the article. the type of paper that I use for the booklet was sugar paper with 80 GSM. the aim to use 80 GSM is to allow the book to be perfectly folded without seeming too bulgy.

apart from including some illustrations on the last 2 pages of my booklet, I altered some of the texts, turning them into highlights that would be able to be understood by everyone and give a hint that they are among the important elements from the article.
