COP: PRACTICAL DEVELOPMENT

After concluding my practical idea, I continued to develop the physical publication. I collected more content from the website and inserted it into my layout, ready for print. I experimented with the way the publication would be held due to the website having side scrolling aspects as well as up and down. I printed my mockup with blue ink due to it being the most eco friendly ink and most easily recyclable. I inserted some editors notes at the beginning of the publication to give the reader an insight into why this document existed. I also included a small extract from the e-flux website regarding the 'printed page'.

Editors Notes:

e-flux in print has been designed for a fast pace reading experience. Using newsprint and printing with blue ink has assured that this document is 100% recyclable. Once you have finished with this document, feel free to throw it straight in the recycle bin!

Publishing in print is a key way to understanding information to its full potential. The printed page serves as an important commitment to a certain temporal conclusiveness. It may not be how content moves, but it is how content asserts that it exists, even if only temporarily. This is why we have transformed part of our content to print, to achieve this particular conclusivness that we believe in. 

This publication will be free and will be found in art institutions around the world. Given the fact it'll be so cheap to produce and so healthy for the environment, it wont have any negative impact on e-flux's business or the world. When the publication is discovered by its audience, they can continue to read the articles online or via its print. This may also inform people of this magazine if they did not know it previously existed.
