YEARBOOK - GRAPHIC DESIGN - PRESENTATION

The main part of this brief was getting the initial concept/design of the book ready so that we could present it to our year to see which group they would want to design the yearbook. Our presentation included GIFs to help people visualise the idea better. We also included some exhibition branding which can go along with the book.  

Introduction

• Explaining overall concept
• Focussing on our progression throughout the three years
• Creating a yearbook which would be suitable for both us and the public
  
  

Research

• Showed what we researched (old yearbooks) 
• How we wanted our yearbook to be different from these (improving) 

Covers - Front/back

• Clean and clear design that does not give an overall style to peoples work - almost like a blank canvas that can house all of the different work. 

Front Cover 

• Interactive front cover 
• The reader can take out their favourite work from the book at adding this to the cutouts in the front cover

Inside pages

• Shows how the book would work
• Explaining how each page is two postcard of peoples work

Poster 

• The poster that will be included in the book 
• The poster also comes with slits so that the reader can customise that as well keeping it as interactive as possible. 

Yearbook Photos

• More personal part of the book in the style of American yearbooks
• Each student has there photograph taken and add a funny/interesting quote about themselves 

Standard Cover 

• This is what the book would come like 
• Shows all of the students on one postcard
• This can then be replaced with other postcards of work

Promotional posters 

• Basic designs for promotional posters for the exhibition that follow the style of the book
• Includes images of peoples work
• Consistent use of branding 

Social media 

• Showing how the idea can be used on social media

Printing

• Spoke briefly about printing and how much it would cost to produce our idea
• Talk about the quite we received from the printers

The presentation/idea got only positive feedback from the class which was very reassuring that we had done a good job. The presentation itself I felt went really well and we were able to explain the idea very easily with all three of us. We now have to await the results to see whether we won the pitch.
