Today during design principles, we learned and expressed our own opinions on what a book is and what function it performs.
We started off by creating this diagram in our groups of 8. By asking each other what a book meant to us and writing them down to gather a good amount of information and opinions on what a book was to that person.
Each group was then asked what was the best answer they had gotten. After this, we debated the different uses of a book and discussed what we all thought best described it.
The spider diagram of the above question.
We then went on to decide how a collection is organised and listed the most probable words, additionally, we briefly spoke about binding techniques used, but this will be covered in more depth during next session.
After all of the exercises we did, we then all chose what our favourite book was and why.
I chose 'Little White Lies' (http://www.littlewhitelies.co.uk), an independent movie review/interview/zine that uses amazing designs on it's covers and is a great example of grid layouts.
