This morning, as a group, myself and fellow yearbook design team members, Kirsty Alderson, Kirsty Hardingham and Claudia Griffin, went out to photograph the print room for some placeholder images for the Printed Textiles & Surface Pattern Design Yearbook, at this early stage of design development. Unfortunately, as the students themselves were having a crit (and, as a result, not as much work as usual was on the walls), we instead went to the print room and took a few images, to go on to use with experimentation for content and placeholder cover.
Although I think (when a higher standard is achieved/we dress sets for shoots a little more) the high res images work well in the design, I don't feel that confident that the photographic imagery for a cover works well, it looks a little safe to me, and too "prospectus like". However, the swirl in the paint gave me inspiration, and I think exploring the use of materials to create our own pattern, as previously discussed with the marbling idea would be far more visually striking, and appropriate to the course itself.
