The dry content of screws and bolts and the bold grid with the plain type only meant one thing, a dull greyish stock. Which works brilliantly, simple sugar paper really finishes off this brief and to be honest im dead happy withit. I think the whole thing works well. Whats nice is that ive kept the margins very wide which gives the intensly packed grid space to breathe on the page and has a more welcoming effect. If the margins werent there and say it was only 2mm the page wouldnt be approachable at all.



I thought it would be appropriate to foil the front and back cover of my screw catalogue in silver. Clearly this connotes screws and it works well. What works better is that the foil is only partially printed onto the black ink which gives the cover a rusty look which works brilliantly with the geometric shapes and contemporary feel the cover has. I think if i had foiled it and there wasnt the black it wouldnt actually be as visually interesting as it currently is.
