This mock up was produced to test the stock that I wanted to print on, to see if it works with the content and the colours and all together.
 |
| Green recycled stock front cover. not sure how the green looks against the leaf imagery, maybe the greens contrast and don't mix great together. Also the weight of the stock is a lot lighter than the content stock, which has resulted in a flimsy cover which isn't great. |
 |
| The recycled off white stock used for the content has worked really nicely as it's still a white-ish stock you'd expect for a guide content so the information is easy to read, however you can tell it's recycled by the grain and vegetation in it. Really pleased with this choice. |
 |
| The leaf for the app has printed out a really weird colour, however I think this is simply a fault with the printer as it doesn't look anything like this on screen, and the printer is known for dodgy colour printing. |
The cover was also printed in white using standard printer paper, to see how this would work. The leaves on the cover have a lot more impact as there's a greater contrast between them and the stock.
I am pleased with the stock choices I have made, however some experimentation is needed with the stock for the cover, I have a heavier weighted green stock I could sue for the cover so it isn't so flimsy, however it's not recycled, and I also have a brown recycled stock which could work great too. This can all be tested when I print the final book.
