Our presentation for the yearbook, I put the presentation together with guidance from the other members of the group.
Our concept was a journey, represented by a maze and drawing through the maze.
Daisy and Mel H came up with a basic structure for the slides and what we needed to cover:
Presentation.
(Concept)
Explaining the concept.
The mazes and what they mean.

(Alphabet Mazes)
Created an alphabet so that we have all the letters for people’s names.
This will be shown at the front of the yearbook with a brief explanation of the concept and meaning behind it.
Each person will fill out one of these puzzles.
Everyone will have a maze of their first initial.
Even people who have the same first initial can have different journeys. Because there are several different outcomes to each maze and each person will take their own journey through the course and make their own decisions.
(Show Mel and Mel Mazes.)
(Then turn to next slide to show how we will digitalise it.)
We will digitalise each persons mazes so that it is personal to them. Whilst making all the aesthetics similar, using the our colour scheme which is this blue and will be explained later.

(Colour Scheme)
Has been popular through out year group.
It is gender neutral.
Matches the studio, which will make our application to the end of year show more thorough.

(Layout)
Explaining the layout options and examples.
Where the name is on the side so when flicking through its easier to see.
Having information down the side and right hand page mainly image.
Giving each person the option to include one or two images on the right hand page.
Explaining the break up pages… Showing exhibitions that we have put on, guest lecturers and live briefs such as TDR, Ditto, SM, DBA, DR. ME.
Die cut front cover.

(End of year show)
Because of the colour scheme the yearbook will work well with the end of year show, as they are the colour of the studios.
Way finding on the floors using the blue vinyl colour as a path through a maze, or maze on the floor.
Everyone’s individual mazes under their names in the exhibition.

We then took our own sections and went into further detail.
I had the Colour Scheme and Layout sections, I wrote small concise paragraphs about each section.
'Colour
The colour scheme we have chosen reflects a minimal modern and sophisticated aesthetic, we chose to use a range of monochromatic colours and teal as the standout cool as we felt it stood out well, yet it is a calm and cool colour. The scheme also fits in well with the interior of the course area and was a popular colour choice in the year group and so this also aided our decision.
Layout
As for the layout here are two examples that we devised. We wanted to have a very simple and clean layout as the minimal aesthetic lets the work of the students shine. A feature of the layout will be the name of the student in the top right hand corner, this acts as a quick reference for someone flicking through the book, and it means that there is the name on both sides of the double page spread. As for images we felt that 2-3 strong photographs of different projects would be the strongest, more becomes complicated and messy to look at. Additional pages will include double page spreads about all the exhibitions students have hosted, an Awards page and a Visiting Professionals Page/ Briefs, these will follow a similar aesthetic to the front cover, or first slide of this presentation, we will use the maze typography to create the words and expand it outwards like 2015, then photographs with a teal filter will be used as the background, details of the students, briefs etc will also be included on the page.'
In the presentation I think that I got quite nervous and I didn't say what I had exactly wrote down, but I still think I got the idea across.
