Unfortunately I missed the briefing for the yearbook, as I was on a placement in London. However I managed to copy up some notes from Priyesh. I have also highlighted the main points I think are 'extra' important:
- Same format as last year.
- Work together in groups. No less than three people, as it's a quite extensive project. Concept, designing and production.
- Working with Jason from Evolution print, and Danny will oversea it.
- All have to pitch from Graphic Design yearbook. Other courses may need yearbooks too.
- Graphic Design want a book.
- Put together a powerpoint and concept of how we will carry this out..
- Work with spine in many different ways.
- Do not worry about budget at this stage.
- You to you as a yearbook team to gather photographs and content. Send Hi Res work, bio etc.
- One week. So at this stage it's about concept.
- Try stay away from last years.
- Not working with a square format, unless its a really good idea. Hard to design for.
- Give thought to layout, different types of work to showcase. How much space given to each person.
- Short powerpoint, but also something that can be printed out.
- Potentially think about how it could work for the end of year show. In terms of navigation too.
- Think about wraps, spines etc.
- Does it have to have a spine?
- Evolution are up for doing something unusual.
- Consistency, but let everyones individually run through too.
- How do you order the content? Alphabetical, discipline etc.
