Context of Practice Practical Proposal

This is what I'm proposing I do for the practical part of my context of practice piece:


I intend to make a book, not a very thick one, smaller than A4 in format, which will have my own essay and possibly other academic extracts inside. I'd like to have a box format sleeve too.


I want to include some of my own photography, whether or not this is appropriate I've not yet decided, but I think it would really compliment the format I'm deciding on.



I want to use laser cutting techniques, the reasons are two-fold: Firstly it's a practice I've not used in years, so I'd like to add this skill back into my inventory. Secondly, I want to experiment with the potential for an interactive sleeve, something that makes it a little bit different to other sleeves.

In terms of visual qualities, I want it to follow a similar style to the original format of the essay. That format was inspired directly from the works I looked at to contextualise my essay in the first place, works like Neue Typografik and Grid Systems by Josef Müeller Brockmann.
