The visit from Village was beneficial, as it allowed me to have a look at some publications, of which use interesting layout and concepts in order to create publications. Also some of the points raised were helpful to my publication, with the idea of the format not having to be a book, of which relates to my concept, and also how adding a poster for example adds value to the publication.
