Grid & Markers

Hey all,

In regards to the grid, art directors & designers are currently working on the magazines markers. Once approved, the grid will be sent out to everyone in an InDesign file for you to use for your layouts. The guides will be locked in the A master page, so make sure this page is applied to all your layout pages (go to the pages tab drag and drop the A master onto the document pages). To preview your layout without guides, hit ctrl +; (pc) or option + ; (mac).

Dear all,
Please revise your layouts to the designated number of pages. Make sure to print at 100% with trim and bleed marks.
Don't forget to bring along all imagery that you are working on including photos you have taken etc.
Happy designing! JUL

We are thinking of placing the markers in the middle of the right hand margin.

Ideas suggestions from the designers would be most appreciated.

Hey Annalise,

Im liking the old school dymo marker. I actually have one of those so if we we gonna go that way we could maybe scan in a real one...

HECK YES!!!!!!!



(That is my favourite of the four, i just love the tactility of it - i feel its sums sample up pretty nicely)

cool, well the one i have is my pops so its pretty old...actually it suffs up every now and them and puts a funny mark on the label so that would probably go down nicely with the whole theme! I think i have green, yellow red blue and black tape but id have to check.
What would you think of having that run down the whole side of the margin, right on the edge of the paper?

Hi ya,

Below are some of the Pantone tear swatches (sometimes referred to as 'chips' or 'tabs') we were talking of implementing as part of the page navigation in the right hand margin or bottom margin. I thought it might be helpful to post up a couple of examples to give you a better idea of what I was proposing....

The 2 examples with the torn perforations is most preferable as it has that slightly 'unfinished' look that we want to communicate thematically throughout the sample publication. Sorry about the fish and the dinosaur, couldn't find just an image of the perforated type without the accompanying animals, heaters etc Smile .

The second image is a Pantone fabric swatch, still looks neat, but not as rough as the perforated type.

Anyhow let me know what you think...

P.S. Does anyone know where we can get a bunch of these (the perforated type), or even just a few?









Cheers,

Serryn.

I like the first idea of having a sample of an image from each article, although im not entirely sure what is meant by the old school dymo marker.
I also think hand written ones might look good to make the magazine have a more personal, rough kind of feel to it.

Ok, i was just looking at dymo markers and i think they would work really well too.

Just going with the pantone idea:[img][/img]

Just going with the dymo idea - This is a scan of a label i made with a dymo maker, i have blue & yellow tape but ive made this one black. I though we could make one label with all the numbers then bring it into photoshop to make the page numbers (see example below).
I think it would look good running the whole length of the page.
What do you think?

Yep really like this, I like the work around with the page numbers too....

Would be great if we could get a grater range of colour, I see that the embossed tape is still made by Dymo:

and available amongst others via these guys in sydney: www.embossingtapesupplies.com.au/
