OUGD504 - Studio Brief 01 - Stock decision

For the pages in the book, I wanted something that would give the interior of the book a more sleek and attractive design. I began to think of the types of books that I personally would take a second look at in day to day life. 

magazines are what springs to mind. Mostly because of the glossy reflective pages on the inside of the publication really catches the eye. It does make the images and text stand out a little more because the pages attract and reflect more light. 

Another good reason why I like the stock that magazines are made from is because there is much less chance of noticeable scratches and smudges. If magazine stick what matt instead of glossy then even the most faint scratches and smudges would be noticeable to the reader. 

I applied the same stock to the book, which after printing did make the images and text stand out much more, as each page reflects a lot of light as you can see below.
