When considering how the final publication would be printed, research was continued to look back on to inform these designs. In the end it was decided to print onto standard printer paper, with the addition of a matte cover to add an element of structure to the final publication. This decision was based on a quote by David Carson used within my essay which states 'designers have gotten lazy, letting the computer make so many default decisions for them'. Through this then direct links are produced between my written and practical work, showing how my research has informed design decisions of graphic design in practice.
Once printed, the process of binding each page together used a saddle stitch method since this was thought to be most similar to the binding process involved in many magazines today. This was inspired by research into Ray Gun magazine and Design Anarchy magazine which have both been designed with subjectivity in mind. Through this, it was also hoped that it would give the publication some sort of commercial purpose in presenting alternative arguments on the debate between objectivity and subjectivity.
