rationale: photos taken by me , add machines on the context, bibliography

I designed this catalogue in a minimalist layout, using a pastel colour scheme to coherently present a light hearted catalogue, one that it doesnt seem to overwhelm the reader. However I overcrowded each lectures with too much text that it becomes hard to digest all of the words in my perspective. I laid all of the text in columns similarly of a newspaper so that it's presented clearly. I relied on the six column grid system so that each page are set out in a coherent layout through out, eitherwise it would have looked messy if there was no grid system. It was really difficult trying to rearrange images and text over and over again till i was satisfied with a precised layout. I did not want the catalogue to be overcrowded with images and I chose images that were of similar form; mostly in landscape form.

I organised the lectures in alphabetical order so that it flows well. I use maroon red colour for each lectures and light blue colour for the rest of the pages. In order to divide the differences between lectures and the others.

I decided to print this catalogue in an A5 form, so it is sort of like a zine because I think that printing it in a size larger than A5 would be too much and it will look more of a magazine. The catalogue is simple, I did not want to overdesign and throw a lot of complicated functions. Initially my idea was to add a small functions like pop out pages and photos but I didn't want to over complicate myself because even designing a simple page, takes a lot of planning,time and effort. There are three pages of individual quotes by theorists and writer in which I wanted to put a pause after three to four lectures. As a way for the reader to take a breather. Each quote conveys a powerful message that relates to the society. I incorporated these three quotes onto my lectures as well.
