Fine Art Yearbook: Print Specification Boards

As the title of the post suggests, these are the specification boards that clarify our concept, direction and differing print requirements based on budget allowances.

At present, the only thing that hasn't been clarified is the final direction of the front/back cover. Everything else however is more than sufficient in terms of costing up a final spec and visualing what the complete publication will look like once complete.

Most important to note is the finalised design direction/grid system specification that has been put into place; this is in addition to our print specifications that I think have developed significantly since our last meeting with Lorenzo.

Although available to view on the boards, see below for details:

I am hopeful that we can at least afford our mid print spec given how important the print finish on the cover is to the Fine Art Committee... to be able to have the light stock also would be the icing on the cake.
