Background / Considerations

The yearbook is an annual publication designed to showcase the graduating 3 year. The book is distributed to Industry Contacts, potential applicants and visitors to the end of year show. We also use the yearbook as a marketing tool to raise the profile of the course with feeder colleges and the creative industries. In the light of this the Yearbook is a high concept, highly visual and professional publication that needs to communicate the practical and conceptual standards of the Graphic Design programme. You have been given a standard square format and the budget is approximately £ 2 500 (tbc) What production processes, stock decisions and colour options will best support the communication of your concept. What additional formats could you use (both print & digital). What other deliverables can you propose?
