Brief
Produce a yearbook for the Fashion degree program. This was a collaborative brief with Kirsty Fruin, Simon Cherry, Sarah Roberts.
Overview
The Fashion degree program has two parthways and this year they wanted to mix both pathways into a single paging book. So the challenge was to produce a book that can encorporate this.
Logo
The cover logo was simple as our client wanted it to say just FASHION in bold on the cover. We added the pathways in underneath with garamond italic to make it more informative.
Typography
We decided as a ground to use Brandon Grotesque bold for the titles and garamond Italic for body copy and numbers. These two fonts work incredibly well together and produce a obvious hierachy throughout.

Stock
The stock we seleced for the posters were around 130g in order to allow them to fold down without get tear marks on the creases. The book cover has been printed on a uncoated Harman paper with 130g for inside pages.

Editorial
My main roles were designing double page spreads, course over views and the cover along side Simon Cherry. We opted for an incredibly clean modern fashion magazine style layout across the publication. Incredibly image heavy with a mix of photography and digital artwork from the fashion students.

Promotion
My other roles consisted of assisting Sarah with working on the poster as well. The posters were double sided for each pathway and had 2 photos from each student on them mixed up at various different sizes. The student names and contact details were at the bottom of the poster with a number next to them. This number corrosponded to where their imagery was on the poster
