Hand-In

It was hand-in today, so I had to go pick up my printed brochure and then fold it up before hand-in. This morning, I whipped up the specification documents, showing font sizes etc on each of the main pages throughout the book.

I ended up heading into Ink around 2pm, as it was getting late and they hadn't called yet, and the book was printed which was good.

However, when folding my booklet, I realised that on the contents page some of the text had defaulted to Registration Black, and gone quite fuzzy, which I then wouldn't have had enough time to change and get it re-printed in time for hand-in. Also, for some reason the 'category' text on each of the opening section work pages (e.g MOTAT, Kumutoto etc.) had gone back to Avenir 45 Book, rather than Avenir 85 Heavy. I think it may have been attached to one of the wrong paragraph styles and changed while I made my final few changes before printing...

I handed it in around 3:30pm, and came home straight away to go through and re-bold the 'category' labels, and also change the contents page to 'Black' rather than 'Registration'. Even though I'm obviously guttered in the fuzziness of the contents page, and the fact that the type changed and reduced the hierarchy on the spread, I'm still happy knowing that next term we continue to work on these, so I'll be able to keep going and improve it even more, when we begin to give the book some personality.
