Fine Art Yearbook: Cover Development 01 (Revised)

With a meeting scheduled for 3.30pm tomorrow, it was discussed that we really needed to make progress with the cover of the yearbook in order to show the committee our development outside of the student spreads.

As Tim had been allocated to develop the cover designs originally, it was suitable that he continued to make inroads into what he already had from before.


Having discussed the designs as they progressed over Skype (oh, the wonders of screen sharing technology), multiple ideas were explored; primarily the notion of disecting the type in columns and shifting it in alternating ways.

Personally, I prefer this approach (as does Tim) as it makes the cover visually more appealing whilst also linking in to our concept through making it more difficult to communicate the message.

A couple of aspects I am not certain on is the use of colour and haphazard line work. I also think it's a shame that neither of the typefaces used on the inside of the publication really work as a cover heading... they simply aren't bold enough for what Fine Art have suggested they would like. (See 10th Feb Creamier Publication post for reference).
