Fashion & Design half of PDF (still need to link pages up with hyperlinks)
Here is my work on the PDF. I started getting through half the pdf when i realised that the content we were working with was so incredibly poor. It actaully looked more like a bad illustration course rather then a fashion degree course. It also made the good work POP* in a sea of rushed submitted content. This made me rather unmotivated to spend another 4 hours to do the 2nd half of the degree program but we have another meeting with amber and suzie this week to see whats going on.
The reason the names on the context page were so big is I was busy hyperlinking each name to the specific page. this was a really handy feature on Indesign and actaully made me excited to work on the PDF. Shame about the content.

Course overviews
Some more initial layouts aimed at print before suzie mason changed all the content and we had to start the design process over again for the body copy.
Double page spreads
I selected some of the best from from the intire degree program to try and build a grid with the content I had the photographic and pattern based work was easy to deal with especailly as we were going for a magazine style layout but the problem arrised when I had to work with the none photographic spreads which had no real structure and it was near to impossible to construct a grid to encorporate them. So i worked with the best stuff hoping that suzie would keep to her word and send us in more photographic content. Either way I constructed a very open grid so worst case scenario I could still fit the illustration work into it.

yearbook poster feedback.
Variation for pathway 1
Variation for pathway 2
These were my final versions of the posters which did not get selected in the end. but overall you can see my development and how I got to it. The idea behind the large images at the front was to showcase the good content and then get you to turn the poster around which would show the rest of the work. At this point i was still working with place holder images as I had not received anything final from the Fashion degree program as of yet.
Meeting with Suzie about posters after easter holidays:
Suzie did not like these posters as she thought they were bais and did not represent fashion. She followed on to say that her 12 year old could design a better poster on vista print. No critical feedback was given or anything to give us an idea what 'Fashion' was and what she wanted to change. We continued to create more variations to take to a further meeting later on the week.
fashion yearbook poster development
Various Grids and layouts all designed to hold a lot of images. At this point we were still designing blind as we had no content and we didnt know if were were designing a single poster for both pathways or 2 posters, 1 for each pathway.

Fashion Yearbook Cover mock ups
Images sampled from Emily Soto and just used as an example test image for potential types of cover photo's.
The Fonts work really well in combination with image. The only variable with this is the photography image on the cover. Its absolutely key that this is taken properly as it will dictate the whole look of the cover. Utilising the square shape against the square cover will kind of reveal the image a little bit helping it become less visible and less bias to an extend. It's to give a form of a glimpse of what will be inside. kind of tempting you in. Connoting the whole 'New up and coming designers' with the idea that you want to open it and see more.
Fashion yearbook Fonts
These are a range of font combinations I have tested and ultimately after speaking to the fashion tutors they wanted a heavy sans serif look for the header. With our prior knowledge of fonts we fully know that would work really well in combination with a italic traditional typeface like garamond.
