    This document provides context for Sarah Roberts' design dissertation project which explored how geographical location influences design. The project included sending printed booklets with questions to various design studios around the world, and publishing the responses in a copic-bound book. The publication featured each design studio's coordinates rather than country to obscure location, with the studios listed in order of distance from the author's home in Leeds. Geometric sans-serif typefaces were used with alternating header alignments to distinguish each studio entry. Photographs of sample spreads from the finished publication are also included.

    Design Context: Where is Design?

    Typographical and layout driven, with an interest in printed outcomes, education, event and small business branding with an understanding of web design. My Statement of Intent I catagoried my design influences: Publications, Small Business and Events Branding and Image used within Design.Through my dissertation and further research I realised that my interest lies in Geographical location, asking the question: Where Is The Design I Love?

    Each design studio appears in order of distance from my Leeds address. I wanted to show my influences highlighting their geographical locations, I felt using co-ordinates was a much more interesting way than stating the country. I like how the audience doesnt know which country the studio is in, unless mentioned in the body copy. Using a 9pt grid and margins: top & bottom 18mm, inside & outside 15mm. 5 columns with a gutter of 6mm. I choose Neutraface and Avenir typefaces because geometric sans-serifs are used a lot in the design I aspire towards. The positioning of the headers alternates from top aligned to bottom aligned so it is obvious when one studio starts and another ends.
