I wasn't in last week but asked the others what we needed to create for the next session. We are required to fit a body of text amounting to around 5000 words in an 8 page, A5 booklet, focusing primarily on readability and legibility. I first read the essay in the order to gain insight into the content, message and what it is ultimately intending to communicate.
I initially decided to use a structured layout formation using 3 columns with a 3mm gutter to increase space availability. To give a balanced aesthetic with plenty of white space to engage the reader, I positioned the text in just 2 of the 3 columns. This was also to allow various pull out / call out quotes which supported the essay.
Final selection
Cambria - 8 on 10pt
2 columns, 54mm width, 3mm gutter
Margins - 18mm (L & R), 10mm (T & B)
