100 - ISTD

Here are the 100 numerals which I will feature throughout the brief.

Yearbook 2010

Studio Stockholme are a Swiss based design studio speciallising in printed publications. Here are some of their best work, the full bleed photographs combined with over-layed type make for a visually strong, clean and professional page.






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.

Natural History Museum

For the ISTD Imbalance brief, I plan to re-write it as one of my own. I feel I can extend the brief and improve the range of outcomes with less limitations this way. This will suit my practice more and add to a professional body of work for my FMP.

Here is the National History Museum logo, it has an effective, easily editable variation of simply changing the clipped image in the 'N', with alternating impressive science images. I plan to acquire the NHM brand and apply it to my brief, creating work for NHM. This will give my work for the brief a brand, specific outcomes to produce and a name to tie it all together.


























The maps and signage provide a good style of design to work from, using simple and bold imagery to communicate a clear message.
