Given Brief


Brief:

'Choose a specific ‘non-viable’ group of people to study and make a publication from 
using print or digital using Magplus so it can be shown on Ipad.
An essential design skill is the ability to find something interesting in subjects that 
are usually ignored or considered boring. This is the act of looking closer. '

Above are aspects of the brief I feel are particularly important. After discussions with a tutor I now understand 'non-viable' is applicable to the actual publication as appose to a group of people. A non-viable publication is a form of printed material that focuses on a niche subject, that in actuality would not exist in a mainstream professional market.

I will begin this project by exploring existing publications that I consider to correspond with the brief, noting what aspects, in terms of aesthetics and subject matter, make it non-viable.
