Dovecot What’s On Guide | Summer-Autumn 2018
Designed by James Brook for Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh, 2018
Leaflet | 420 x 297 mm folding to 210 x 148 mm | 8 pages
Printed by Allander, Edinburgh, on Vision Superior 135gsm
After designing six issues of Dovecot’s twice yearly What’s On guide as a 12 page booklet with half cover, Dovecot asked me to re-format the guide as an A3 leaflet folded to A5. This new format will concentrate on the many events that Dovecot promote and its more cost-effective size will allow Dovecot to update the guide more frequently than before. The new format retains the look and feel of the original guide with a white stripe on the cover representing the half cover. The layout and typography follows the style of the original, using Dovecot’s ‘official typeface’, Whitney, with a mixture of full-bleed and thumbnail images on a white background. As before, the guide is printed on Vision Superior in the same weight as the inside pages of the original guide. This issue of the guide contains a fold-out poster (not designed by me) for Liberty: Art Fashion & Fabrics, Dovecot’s summer exhibition but future issues will contain a fold-out events listing in the central section.
