Another meeting.

Cover experiments.

Really quick layout experiments for the cover, taking into consideration the possible belly band.

Even if we decide on a belly band, the cover still needs to include the relevant information so that if the band is lost you can still see what it is.

Quote layout experiments.

Ignore whats in the photos and what the text says, it's just general layout experiments.

More logo/general type experiments.

Logo/branding ideas.

Having a play with the underline that Carl had thought of:

Cover ideas.

Yearbook layouts.

More colour experiments.

As we're really struggling with colour choices we decided to put together loads of samples, print them off and go through them all tomorrow.

I think the process of elimination will be the best way to go about this. I think we all agree it has to be significantly different from the previous yearbooks.

Yearbook meeting 3.

More yearbook layout experiments.

Yearbook colour ideas.

Started off looking into the blues/greens we discussed at the last meeting, but then had a look at some warmer colours. Keeping in mind that we wanted to use black/greys and then 1 impact colour.

I personally still prefer the blues & greens. Maybe less of a pastel colour and something more striking. I definitely think it needs to be different to that of the previous yearbooks.

Yearbook layout experiments.

Based on what we had discussed in the previous meeting.

They really are just quick experiments playing with layout and how the information can sit with the images.

I'm quite liking the transparency and being able to see the image underneath. I don't know whether it would be best to have a fixed layout throughout, or if it should change for each designer, maybe making it that little bit more exciting?

Yearbook cover ideas.
