Photograph style inspiration

We all liked the imagery style of the second graphic design yearbook and so wanted to adopt this for the interior yearbook. By looking at other suitable imagery specifically towards interior design we can hopefully photograph our subjects and frame the images better.

Meeting with Steve #4

Layout chosen!



Colours and tag envelope

Normally put eyelets in the tags to secure them to the clothing and the lengths of string, however, this would cause problems for the tag I have designed as it would go through the whole things and not allow the information to be viewed. Therefore we have jointly decided to use an envelope to encase the informative tag. This also means that the information for the garment will have to possibly move to the back of the envelope rather than the 'tag' for it to be seen by the customer. The envelope will be made from tracing paper or thicker tissue paper in white. Two textures for the deliverables ties into the two textures apparent in the garments.
































Looked at colours which could work well across the white and the olive stock we will be using... I am going to print these later and laser cut them tomorrow to find a final business card idea, tag and letterhead.














Helvetica

Just been told we must use Helvetica in the yearbook, and so going through my previous layouts and changing the typeface. I hope Steve, Ben and Franco can pick a layout which we can move forward with, and also we need to discuss the copy as some iof it needs dramatically cutting down. There is a main issue of promotion, as the yearbook was initial purpose was to celebrate the student and promote the course... we have since discovered that the course is not taking on any new students in the coming years and the current first years will be the last the graduate. It seems a bit silly to promote a course with isn't accepting potential students...
