Below is an ISSUU document, containing my final boards for the Yearbook:
This brief was enjoyable mainly because it gave me the
chance to collaborate with other designers in the class that I had not worked
with before. As a group we get on really well, which makes the whole process
much easier.
A huge motivational factor of this brief is that it’s live,
and our final product will be printed at mass. I love the idea that people will
take away books we have designed and treasure them, maybe even frame one of the
pages with a full image on.
Although disheartened that we did not win our proposal for
the BAGD Yearbook, the second best option was Photography. This is because they
supply the book with such beautiful images, our design input is mostly
transparent. Meeting up with Photography
once a week has worked well to keep on top of progress, and the group of
students that are part of the Photography team are fairly organised.
One major issue we have had is that deadlines were set for
students to submit images and text, which has not been kept to whatsoever. Of
course this was bound to happen, and is also something hard to place a cap on,
as it would seem harsh to not allow someone to be in their own Yearbook. By OUGD603 submission, the publication will
be nowhere near finished. However the deadlines for the book to be sent to
print are quite some time away, and I am confident the publication will be
finished by then.
