BAGD yearbook proposal; Second meeting.

13/12/12

Ideas for Graphic Design yearbook pitch:

- Business card including for each person, either in a slot on their page, or a tear out section at the back with all the business cards included
- Each person has a mini profile alongside their work with information about them and possibly their logo
- The theme is work hard, play hard - with a side of humour, for example a funny photograph of each graduate
- Focus on paper folding, fold out sections etc. Look at GF Smith examples (as shown in visiting professional lecture, 7/12/12)
~~N.B. The design also needs to work in PDF format ~~
- Represent each person's style, different to last years use of signature, each person could draw a caricature of themselves
- Each person answers interesting questions that relate to graphic design that give an indication of their personality, for example: 'If you were a typeface what would you be and why?' and 'If you were a pantone colour what would you be and why?'
- Move away from the traditional format of a DPS per person, to make the format of the book more personal, such as splitting the pages up in to diagonal spaces
- The yearbook should reflect our personalities as the class of 10-13, with examples of what makes each student proud of themselves.

For next meeting: Sunday 6/1/13, each person should have done a small amount of research and a mock up example of how the spread could work.
Print slot is booked for 3xA2 for Tuesday 8/1/13 3pm.
