I decided to go ahead and design an instruction manual for disco, I had to consider the spacing of the different pages to ensure when it is printed and folded all the content is legible. It was also important to source high quality photographs to use so they come out well when printed.
I created a few different colour gradients based on the colours previously mentioned in the initial ideas. I then chose the typeface Harry to create the front cover visuals, as well as to be used for the body text. Helvetica is used for the headings as it compliments the stylistic Harry and is also the kind of simple and readable font that would be used for an instruction manual.
Thinking about the layout is essential in order to make sure that the pages would fold into the right order, also after designing the whole page the bottom half had to be turned upside down in order for the fold to work correctly.
Below is a small mockup I printed to make sure the layout and spacing was okay, as well as seeing the colours printed and checking for spelling errors etc before printing it full size a2.
