This class, Mr. Vinod told us to bring the materials ( Cutter and A3 paper) to next class for the first exercises.
08/04/19 (Week 2)
This week, Mr.Vinod instructed us to cut A3 paper and fold it, but before we started the exercise Mr. Vinod teach us and give us an example of what to do . after that, we are required to get the format and find 3 sizes for our book format which is bigger than A5 paper size and less than A4 paper size. I got 3 option for the size but then I decided to go with a 160mm x 220mm paper size which not too big or too small for me. We have to create a mock-up book with 32 pages, and 8 spreads. So, we got to take 8 pieces of papers and fold it in half. Once we have done, Mr. Vinod demonstrated to us how to bind the book with the staple. we need to staple the paper properly where have to create a guideline or make the point on the center of the book. Last but not least, we have to create a line of the paper size that we wanted and we got to cut it properly with the cutter like how Mr.Vinod showed us how it works.
15/04/2019 (Week 3)
In this class, we did another exercise. we were asked to get A3 paper and fold it into half. Next, Mr. Vinod drew some line on a board which we need to draw it on a paper that we folded and the purpose of this exercise is to get the margins for our book.

General Feedback: Before doing the illustration for our book, we have to search and look for the references to so we got some direction. Specific feedback : I have to fix some format and since I haven’t put my introduction, Mr.Vinod also said that i have to finish it as well as the subtext
15/04/2019 (Week 3)
Specific Feedback: this week Mr. Vinod told take a good picture and mr. vinod teach me how to change the color so the result for the picture will be better for my blog
22/04/19 (Week 4)
margin exercise: Mr. Vinod told me to find the margins first so it's easy for me to identify the other alignment.

1.2 Size exploration
1.3 Size exploration
1.4 Size exploration
In this class, we did another exercise. we were asked to get A3 paper and fold it into half. Next, Mr. Vinod drew some line on a board which we need to draw it on a paper that we folded and the purpose of this exercise is to get the margins for our book.
1.5 Process exercise for creating margins
1.6 Process exercise for creating margins
1. 7 Creating margins (Final Attempt)
when we done with it, Mr. Vinod asked us to do it digitally using Adobe Indesign.we also got another exercise which is numbering book. Before that Mr. Vinod told us about "Signature". a signature is a group of pages that are printed on both sides of a single sheet of paper that once folded, trimmed, bound and cut, become a specific number of pages depending on the page size and the size of the press sheet. 4-page Imposition. 8-page Imposition. So basically, each signature considers 16 Pages. After that, Mr. Vinod demonstrated to us how to give a pages number.
1.8 exercise: pages number (Final Attempt)
1.9 exercise: pages number (Folded)
22/04/19 (Week 4)
For this exercise, we are required to print 5 spreads layout and Mr. Vinod mentions that we have to find the book with a complicated but good layout. after we pointed out, we have to exchange to our friends and we have to find the margins, hanging and so on so forth. I try to do it but some of the paper that I've got from my friends that I couldn't find the alignment.

We got another exercise which is form and movement where we are required to create shapes to create a pattern based on a grid system. to start this exercise we are required to used Indesign and create margins and columns with 16 pages.
1.14 process of creating the shape
1.15 the file of the final shapes
1.16 Gif of the shape
In this class, we were asked to do the exercises and play with the shape the same as the last week but this time we got to introduce the color. Mr. Vinod said that we better do 2 colors first and we can decide where and which shapes that we want to give the secondary color.
1.17 process of creating the shape
1.18 process of creating the shape

REFLECTION
EXPERIENCE
08/04/19 (Week 2)
I got to explore how to create the format for my own book, I've never staple book before, in this class Mr.Vinod let us experience with it which is fun as.
15/04/2019 (Week 3)
In this class, I experienced how to get margins to my book manually and digitally.
22/04/19 (Week 4)
OBSERVATION
08/04/19 (Week 2)
I observe that the guideline is always important to make everything align especially for a staple in these exercises. We need to be careful while we are doing it
15/04/2019 (Week 3)
Because I and my classmates have a different size for our own book. I Observed that the size for the margins itself must be different. so, is important for us to know how to create margins manually or digitally.
22/04/19 (Week 4)
FINDING
08/04/19 (Week 2)
I found this class was very fun where I can explore and learn new thing about the format and how to created a mockup for my own book.
15/04/2019 (Week 3)
I just realized that every book has a signature and the way we have a number on the pages also interesting.
