A handmade yellow envelope was chosen to help make the letter standout when posted through the studios door, encouraging them to open it rather than immediately discard.
The letters are written on textured handmade stock from visiting the Salts Mill in Saltaire.
This is to hopefully make the letter interesting enough for them to reply.
The zine was designed as a way to demonstrate where I'm coming from as a designer and to give the studios and designers a token of appreciation. The zines design was influenced by my readings of Müller-Brockmann's Grid Systems in Graphic Design. A specific grid system was developed in relation to the photographic content found inside. It is a more focused variation of the publication produced in Level 04 that is designed with cost effectiveness in mind. Hence the small form factor that allows the zine to be printed on A4, with only 16 pages and being able to fit in a standard size envelope.
At this point, I have sent these letters to 8vo, Bureau Mirko Borsche and Zak Group Office.
