Yearbook

Here are some inspirational pieces which have informed me when designing the yearbook cover and layouts.
1 - Latacagrafica
2 - No Do
3 - Playboy

Latacagrafica's use of overlaid type with a photograph is interesting as the reader has to look beyond the title to see what the image really is.
No Do's layouts are consistent, the use of type is perfectly balanced on terms of hierarchy.
Playboy have an interesting use of borders for their DPS images, splitting the images into two yes, but avoiding the image becoming lost in the spine of the book.

Yearbook - Research

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:

Yearbook 2010

More inspirational Publications for the Yearbook design.

This publication by Roger Teeuwen is interesting as it displays images upside down, making you flip the book over to view the images. However, the entire book can be read backwards as well as forwards, completely braking the mould of publication design.

Yearbook 2010

Here are some publications which I feel could be applied to the Graphic Design 2010 yearbook. I feel the use of photography to give an insight into the course can play to our advantage and separate our yearbook design from the rest. These publications deliver a professional message but still maintain the creative flexibility.

Film Festival Logos

Here are some examples of current film festival logos.

I mostly admire the Brooklyn Underground film festival. This is due to the logos simplicity but achievement of identity and appropriate representation of the event. The word 'underground' appears to be sat underneath 'Brooklyn', playing on the word of underground/unknown films hidden by/in Brooklyn. 

Cannibalism

For the Cannibalism - MPA Roses Student Awards brief, I plan to produce package designs, mainly for food products.
This will enable me to create a broad range of products as food is such a diverse category for packaging. Also, different aspects of packaging can be considered such as boxes, labels, bottles, bottle caps, nutritional information design ect.

Here are some examples of good packaging design.

The Ten Commandments of Typography

The Ten Commandments of Typography - Paul Felton


I have taken great inspiration from this book. It delivers, in a clear and fun way, an impressive understanding of using type for design. The simplicity of the idea and religious styling is what makes this book an original type design guide. 
The subtle use of calligraphic lettering, parchment stock and hidden crucifix throughout strengthen the quality of the book, it is very well designed.
