Play on words for a photography yearbook:

Excellent use of photography for this yearbook design, the second image draws you in with its use of depth of field focus: 

Clever concept behind this yearbook, something all designers can relate to; a cup of tea:

Cannibalism - MPA Roses

I have conjured up some names for the cannibalism magazine, trying to relate them to existing magazines already in the market.

- Cannibalism Weekly
- Meat (Heat)
- Look Out! (Look)
- Human Digest / Human's Digest (Reader's Digest)

I feel the best by far is 'Human/Human's Digest, the name is most relative to a real magazine and the subtle replacement of the words 'Reader's' with 'Human's' would seem like a crime to leave out of the project!

Here are some Reader's Digest Covers, Looking at the layout and use of type/images throughout.

Cannibalism - MPA Roses

I have decided to base my cannibalism magazine on a gossip/celeb weekly magazine.
Here are page layouts from 'Love It', I plan to include some of the same content.

Cannibalism - MPA Roses

I have decided to design one magazine, creating a new magazine focused on cannibals. The magazine will contain all of the same content as any other news/celeb/gossip mag to make it more relative and believable as a real product, However the news will be focused mainly on cannibalism issues. 
Aswell as the magazine itself, the option for inserts and freebies can be included. 

Martino Jana Design - Portugal

The publication designs from Martino Jana are inspirational for the yearbook design.

The use of type over-laid onto an images, particularly a photograph really works well here. The posters below look professional and combine the two contrasting mediums of type and photographs fluently, giving a clean but more importantly interesting design.

Photographing work together, from above is a style I have always admired. I feel it can give an instant view of the types of work the designer creates. I think this could work well for the each students work in the yearbook. 

Including additional pages in publications makes them more interesting and gives the viewer something special to handle. I think this could be a strong addition to the yearbook. 

The center spread of the yearbook could hold an extra, non-student page. As I feel it's quite an important one, its the page that is easiest for the book to lay open on. Martino has utilised this aspect:

Here are some of Martino's best examples of type layout, they display information well and utilise print, such as using a duotone colour scheme. I feel these examples can relate to all of my FMP briefs, and my practice in general. 

I like how the use of hand-rendered type has been structured just like digitally rendered type would, this is quite an interesting design which I feel stands-out to the growing majority of digital typographic posters.
