WHAT IS GOOD// Final Photos of Research Book and Evaluation

The research book is a document that details the things that I found most interesting and relevant to my project at the start of the project. Obviously the content and the research changed over time but this is a general overview of what I had been looking at and what got me interested in the first place. My 'what is good?' was space exploration so this booklet explores the fundamentals of space exploration in Europe and the UK and goes on to look at exciting new developments finishing with my plan for the publications and some examples of other work. The cover is very simple and follows a design aesthetic that I have been developing to label any project related support work that I produce, to see what I mean by this have a look at my responsive manual. Its a good way to mark up non-design research and analysis work, whilst separating it from the actual design practice segment so the two dont get confused. I printed the research book on a thick cartridge sock which gave a very unusual textured finish on the laser printer, then stitch binded the spine, creating a booklet. The booklet is fairly comprehensive also and covers a wide range of interesting topics. I did actually use the information written here in my briefs and I understand that at some times this book is quite dry in its tone, but it covers a lot of topics in a very small space, hugely informative for the understanding and production of the design end of this brief. The booklet also features large photos on each dps which are related to the text opposite, this uniform design layout works at making the book readable, but it also works as a great picture book with some really interesting content.
