PROMPT : As a class, pick a theme and design a book around it - this will be your class’ catalog. The theme for the Spring 2019 class is Light vs Dark.

Here is my plain template combined with a classmate’s cuter graphics.

Here is my own design for the Class Catalog’s Resume/Biography Section. I am definitely for the option of having a photo (or self-portrait/avatar) be an option, since we didn’t have that available to us for the Myriad. Which, given that I know how much work we all put into it, seemed such a shame.

My (hopefully) final spread for our Class Catalog. I still stuck with food, and used 2 rather contrasting image, where the main similarity is the round arrangement, and the color blue.

Here are some previous versions of my spread. Since I was definitely more focused on the cover (both front & back) given my position as 1 of 2 Lead Designers, I wasn’t really able to give my spread much thought.
I did do a Light & Dark Galaxy watercolor thing, but it didn’t feel like it was enough. So I turned to food, which I definitely felt much better about. However, it was totally different to the rest of the class’ work, most of which was 2 side by side photos, or 1 huge spread photo.

FINALLY done with the Class Catalog’s Front (right) & Back cover (left).
For the final back design in particular, we have decided to combine my original photo in the background and the hourglass colors inverted.

Here is the final for the front (right) and back (left) of our Class Catalog for Spring 2019. We would just need to put in the title on the spine, and we would (hopefully) be done!

Here is a work in progress of the top 2 covers meshed together. Used my co-Lead Designer’s image and my title. Will definitely have to play around with it some more.

Here is, more or less, my final cover design for our Spring 2019 Class Catalog.
UPDATE : Tied in votes for the chosen cover for our class’ catalog this spring. I’ll need to work on my co-Lead Designer to mesh our ideas together. So far, my favorite part about my work is the title I came up with.

Playing around with the colors (removing the invert filter on one half, for example). Also trying to incorporate the type, although I’m not really excited about just calling it “Light vs Dark” as it seems to cliche.

Here are some of my photos that I inverted. I really liked the idea of turning photos into negatives, to stay away from a cliche black/white as a light vs dark sort of thing. I inverted a couple of my photos, and played around with showing it as it is, as well as seeing the original colors for contrast.
I ended up with 7 photos, with varying subjects and “cutouts” showing the original photos. However, my favorite out of all of it is actually the first photo, where I didn’t even do anything to it all.
I just love how it turned out, both surreal and yet realistic enough, if that makes sense. I also like how the colors turned out - orange and blue, complementary colors.

For our class catalog, the class voted in majority for Light vs Dark (although I personally still vastly prefer “favorite foods”).
In addition to B/W book covers, I also thought about negative images. As someone who grew up with film photos, I was always fascinated by the rolls of negative images and how that could turn into full-color photos. I feel more strongly inclined towards this line of thought than the other one, although it’s connection with a Light vs Dark theme might be a little on the tenuous side.

For our class catalog, the class voted in majority for Light vs Dark (although I personally still vastly prefer “favorite foods”). Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean simply black and white. But given the saturation of colors and images in book covers nowadays (and recent projects), I thought it would be nice to go back to basics, so to speak. Besides, I’ve always preferred a nice interplay between positive and negative spaces to create impact.
Here, my first bit of research included black and white book covers. My personal criteria was that it can’t simply be a graphic/image/type that got turned into B/W or grayscale and called it a day. It had to be something that works only (or best) because it’s black and white (or grayscale).

PROMPT : Design an 11x17″ flyer for the upcoming Spring 2019 Open House. It will only print with black ink, but there is the option of printing it on colored paper.
