More process again

So new plans are my process book is going to be big. I made my type layout sample poster-size instead of just a plain 8.5x11 due to being absent and being used to making things in poster size. At this point, I honestly think it's a great idea. Any poster I do, I can just use the same size and not have to shrink down and lose any detail. And the typography will look good too. My only concern is cost and if I can do what I wish at the school's printing room, which include double-sided printing, color, etc.

It'll also be good conceptually because process is the biggest chunk of any project, so size is great.

I'll also be doing some info graphics since I found a good site on statistics. I thought I would base them on surveys and people's results on use of the internet, but unfortunately that didn't work. Anyone who did the surveys, their answers were pretty much the same. So that attempt is probably trashed. But after finding that site with the statistics with help from an SVA librarian, I felt that was a good substitute.

I still can use more sources, though. Some things are still missing. I'll get there, though. Still got a bit more than half a semester.

Logo needs to be worked on. Needs more of a universal feeling. My current samples (which I didn't get to post this week, I'll post them for process purposes) have the feel of the fact that I'm for censorship, and that's not what I want. I'll get there when I get more info.

Other things to also work on: color pallet, grid, solid book layout, icons...

Fun stuff.
