Design Development for my final publication

It has been decided that my final publication will be a wind breaker. This is to instantly connect my audience to the seaside due to Blackpool being the UK's most popular seaside resort.

Within group critiques peer voted that they liked the concertina element as a publication design as it was a playful, fun approach fitting the topic of my publication and breaks boundaries of a generic book/ publication. 

Other materials were also put forward to make my publication design more interesting. When showing already created designs peers liked the use of sweet bags as claimed it instantly connected traditional with the town 'Blackpool'. 

When relating back to my taken images for primary research of 'Blackpool' it was decided that these images worked well as 'holiday snaps' to be included with my publication. Several paper stocks were experimented with for printing images onto, however, glossy stock worked best and instantly connected to tourists and the actions they take on holiday. 

As the sweet bags I gathered had printed seems on them a design decision to stitch my publication together down the seems was made to give my publication more of a textured feel making it more interesting and visually pleasing for the consumer.
