Yearbooks
If any of you graphic designers have children of school age, you will no doubt have been asked to help with the "graphics" on some sort of school run project. A couple years ago I was asked to help design the cover of a grammar school yearbook. Needless to say, a professional designer is probably the last person you want involved in a project like that: "What if we do this?" "What if we tried that?" "If we got some more money we could emboss" "Wait, the children will be supplying the artwork? Seriously?" "People, just what problem are we trying to solve here?" You know what I'm saying. Cleaning up my hard drive, I found this file of (unused) internet research I did on yearbook design. Great stuff.

Holy Shit, well done. "one way, our way" looks like an old punk rock flier
ReplyDeleteI continued to do my son's school newsletter a year after he left that school! I kept saying, you must find someone else for this ;)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I (both designers) have been doing posters, invitations, auctions, t-shirts ... you name it. It was fun but I am glad my son has graduated and we all can move on ;)
The one on the bottom is soooo hot.

You reminded me that I designed my high school yearbook so I wrote a post about it on my blog:
