QUOTE BOOK

Today I had a tutorial with Paulus, and after the meeting things cleared up in my mind a bit.

When it comes to my additional book/ books about my statistics and research Ive decided to make minimum three books about some of the themes (on in each book)

It will be one book displaying the quotes. I will use the french binding technique- wich allows me to put photos of the quotes on the inside/ backside of the quote Im using, as a surpise/ extra touch to the consept. It will be printed on really thin, slightly transparent bible paper, and Ive found a printer in south London that hopefully can do it for me.










I would also like to make a book about text hiarchies, where I use my infogrpahics that highlights the diferent parts of the sign texts in colour codes. possible I will use the french biding techinque here to but on a more transparent paper maby. Not sure about this yet.











Im thinking about doing one book about the diferent fonts, simply using transparent paper, dividing all the diferent fonts on about 20 pages- so as a whole they fill the whole square- but the ones in the back beeing hard to see and the ones in the front beeing clear. I think it will look visually nice, but I might need to think about the words I choose to take oictures of to give it a deeper meaning somehow. Maby I could use my verbs?








next book idea would be anothe french binding technique version, but focusing on the visual aspects such as form, colour, location, etc etc etc. pretty much suming up every signs individual characterisics. The text about this would be on the front, and the image of the sign would be hidden inside. I could also put in several "signs" on each side, number them, and then you have to open up the page to look at the signs.








LAsgt idea is a logo book- where there will first be a blck white lined version of the logos, with name of the church of the logo under illustration, and on the insdie/ back of paper the real logo incl colours will be displayed.









Im not sure if these are all strong enough, nor if I ctully have time to make them, but I will try to do as many as possible.

COVER EXPERIMENTATION

Ive used Gill sans, the most used church sign typeface, and the title " WELCOME TO WORSHIP", as that is the two most common verbs used on church signs in London

This is clearly just experimentation. Im considering doing it in a5 and a4, or a5 and a6, and I think it would be nice if they sort of go together, as they in many ways work as one piece together with the photo graphy piece.

DESIGN PIECE 2: PROCESS BOOK

UNIT 14, PIECE 1 CONCEPT

So, today I spoke with my photo tutor Gary about my phoographic piece, and Ive decided how I want to present it.

I went from my original idea withc was to show the photos devided on 6 A1 sheets, to changing the format to one massive print (1270 cm x 254 cm)

After all the work I feel the piece needs to be presented in the best possible way, and it deserves to be shown on a large scale like this.

Ive found a printer that can do the job, printspace in Kingsland Road, though it is pretty expencive. It lands on 224 pounds + VAT. After talking with my dad about it, he wished to sponsor me on the printing.

Im pretty sure this is what Im going for, but I will have one last talk about it with my main tutor Paulus tomorrow before I make a final decission.

Interview with a church-sign designer

Today I called All Nations Church in Clapham to talk with them about their great church advertisement signs. After speaking with the very nice and ploite secretary Lydia, she let me know that it was in fact the pastor and founder of the Church Leslie who had started the sign tradition about 20 years ago, and was stil the mastermind and designer behind them.

She gave me his home number and I gave him a call. He was a very nice, older man who semed like a very social inteligent and polite. He knew how to express himself in a clever and smart way to say it like that.

This is what I got out of the conversation (taken from email I sent the pastor after our phone conversation):

- Main goal with the signs is to catch the eye of people passing the church- you've got one second to get attention, so its important to make the most out of it.
You aim to provoke people, no matter what if people reacts to the signs positive or negative- as the signs either way has made people think and reflect over what the signs are communicating.
You are the designer and concept maker of the designs, and have been doing this for the past 20 years.

The signs consists of yellow squares that stands outside the church towards the highway permanently, and you change the text on them every two months or so. The letters are vinyl letters. You make the decisions when it comes to the text hierarchy, and the usage of colors and words that might stand out visually. Then you go to your printer to get consultation, and they help you scale and make the final decisions so that they fit your format as good as possible.

What you do is to come up with the quotes, witch you try to make contemporary and often humoristic to not scare people away, as your impression is that many people are afraid of religion. You can understand why people think like that, and you, and you're church community don't look at All Nations church as "religious", but as a forum and place to be in touch with God, and you look at God as a friend.
You normally come up with the text yourself, but in a couple of occasions you have used quotes from the bible as well. In terms of inspiration you have not been looking at other churches and their approach, but you are aware that there are other church communities that has a similar kind of approach.

You have had a lot of feedback on your signs, mostly positive and some few negative ones from people that don't believe in God and that gets negatively provoked. When you get new mwmbers in the church, many of them say that it was the signs that made them join, often because they felt they described the church as a welcoming and friendly environment.


After we talked I sent him these aditional questions:

1: Have you got some examples of other quotes you have used?
2: Have you got any pictures available from your earlier slogans?
3: Have you got any ideas for future signs?


Signs from All Nations Church:

QUOTES/ TEXTS

These are the textx and religious verses from the signs. Im not sure wether to use all, or make a selction of them, and neither if I should use the fonts and arrangements used in the signs, or re make them.

hmm..

Im also trying to decide wether to go for a A3 sice, or smaller. It would be nice to use really thin paper, as a referace to the bible, o settled light coloured/ offwhite paper.
