When visiting the library we viewed its special collection and were given a brief to match. This was the first time that I have been given the opportunity to view such a prized collection of books. We were asked to create a postcard taking inspiration from a chosen book. I decided to choose issue 5 of Veneer magazine however it was a rushed decision on the spot. I was initially drawn to this piece in particular due to its destroy to read nature. The idea of surrounding the book in foam and further concealing it away within a bag. In order to read the content you would have to destroy part of its beauty. I have yet to produce the postcard but feel inspired by the destroy to reveal aspect. The idea of how I can encourage an audience to become reckless in order to reveal a concealed message.
After being absent for the photoshop workshop I was keen to learn as much as possible about Indesign. I used Indesign for a magazine project on my foundation course previously but since then haven't felt the need to use it for another project. Although the basics felt familiar the mentioning of shortcuts were very noteworthy. Practising a skill really helps to perfect itself, I look forward to experimenting with the typography poster brief yet to come.
