Evaluation for 'Sanguinary Creeps'

I am really pleased with my DC Publication, because I feel like it sums my design up completely. Here are a few bullit points of what I wanted my DC to say;

1. My practice is about exploration
   This was achieved through intentionally not having a contents page, I want the reader to flick through and pick out the pages they find interesting or stimulating.

2. I'm interested in literature

I had excerpts and quotes from my favourite books and articles from my favourite writers.

3. I am nostalgic about aesthetic
   When designing, photographing and documenting my work I like to achieve a nostalgic/retro feel reminiscent of a 90's/80's text book, and so I chose to have my book spiral bound with an 80's type on the front.

4. The design speaks for itself
   I felt I unnecessary to add my own comments about the designs/designers I chose because they were in the book for a reason, it is obvious they influenced me.

One thing I regret about this brief was not doing a series of books, and also putting money aside so that I could get it properly printed, I printed is on Lulu but it wasn't as nice as I expected. Now I have time I think that I am going to create that series I wished I had. 

Here is the final PDF for my design context publication, that i originally sent as a low quality PDF to lulu haha, but then cancelled the order and reordered - and then received TWO publications for the price of one - neither of them are normal looking though. For some reason there's a white edge around the spiral bound one and it's bugging me. But they came so quick is it worth ordering a new one? I don't know what to dooooo.

DC Presentation

Usually I make massive speeches of what I want to say but I have notes and bullet points and so hopefully I wont freeze and die.
