Yearbook Research

I looked into some initial research into things that I thought could be inspirational.

I like this brochure design as the foil is really interesting, this is obviously very feminine and this wouldn't suit everyone in the year, and I personally would avoid this aesthetic too. 

I really liked the clip in this work, I thought that separate elements could be clipped together and this would be quite interesting, however there would be at least 50 pages and so this isn't an appropriate bind.

I think that this poster is good because it takes a retrospective look at what was. I think that it suggests you where and now you are moving forward, and its an interesting way of listing everyones names, and it is minimal. 

I like the string that runs through the names its very interesting to look at and it shows connection. I also think that this idea could be continued into the exhibition.

A filofax style has never been used before, and a well designed folder and well made folder could look really professional it also means that people can take out any page they want to look at in more detail, they could act as CVs.

We could consider the use of neon and neon printing I like the way the page edges are neon and this creates contrast with the white cover.

I like this door idea, and the cut out, its like opening the door to new things and it invites the audience to read.

This is an interesting format, its different because of the way it opens and the size of the entire book, I like it and I still think that it looks professional.

I think that this is a strong visual, I don't think that an idea like this would exactly work like this, I think that gold is the colour of 1st place and I think that this could be a strong concept.

I like the front cover of this book as it is clearly for a creative subject and I think that the tools are essential. And I also like the print method of this piece, I think that he two colour image is really effective, I prefer this to full colour print in this piece. However I think that in this kind of style there needs to be more consideration of the professional appearance of the book.

This is a similar style, I feel that this style is a little more adult and I like the use of space.

I saw both of these designs on a post about pop up design, I think if done well like the two above it would look really professional and add an extra dimension and interest. Again minimal colours, I think that this might suit a lot of people in the year.
