Our final Project called OUR NYC The Way We See it was overall the most exciting I’ve done so far. Since the first day we got in the group we came with this idea right away. A photo book showing the perspective of three designers around NYC. The process consisted on collect the images we were going to use, after that we gave each other different functions. I was in charged of the arrangement, Mario worked on the typefaces and the texts, and Brianna worked on the proofreading and cover. The text we used was just personal thoughts and comments of the photographs we took.
After everything was completed we research different printing places. We sent the files to Magcloud which worked really good. I received the book on Wednesday and as soon as I opened I felt the amazing quality it came. We used a saddle-stich binding, the size of the phonebook is 8.5×5.5 landscape which makes the book more personal and easy to carry. I’m really satisfied with the printing quality the color and the images came nice and exactly the way we designed it.
Working on this project made me realize how important is to communicate with your team and make sure everyone agrees with the final decisions. The only challenge was the timeline and how to work with different schedules since we work and have other projects to work on. But I can’t complain we were really determined to finish this on time so we can send it online since I never print anything on Magcloud and I wanted to see how the quality and process was. I’m definitely printing again with Magcloud because it’s reliable, they help you setting up your files, and it’s really cheap compared to local stores.
