Pantone Booklet - Colour Theory
I was overall pleased with the outcome of this booklet. I initially found it difficult to tie in such a spectrum of colours without it looking over the top and clashing. I thought I should therefore have some kind of consistency which I was able to maintain for double page spreads with the Klein Blue pages, then again with the Pantone stylised layouts. Layout was furthermore a key factor to ensuring this booklet wasn't clashing and messy. Therefore by using the Pantone colour swatch layout as a grid I was able to manipulate text and imagery into a specific area with a consistent aesthetic. It feels to me as well looking at it now there's a subtle progression of colours, from darker dingier tones featured in my own colour swatch, to brighter vibrant variations of blue, then pink to red.
Once printed however the pages didn't align so this idea of continuation was ruined. Not only this but they were also the wrong way up, I furthermore messily stapled the booklet twice, both times not being particularly straight. If I have more time to improve this I'd like to reprint this at it seemed a real shame as the content in order and the right way round.. would appear far greater designed. So I need to learn how to properly print booklets in order to achieve this.
