awesome typography. Even better pictures.

ideas for branding the show

Some ideas for branding the two shows or design to give them a sense of coherency.

Hvass and Hannibal- Use of colour/pattern etc.

Signage and typography:

Stephen Powers created the Love Letters Project in Philadelphia- 50 Murals across the city- the paintings are positioned on walls and rooftops so that two thirds of them can be viewed from the city's Market Frankford elevated train line.

Exposure?

Don't know if anyone has seen this, but maybe this would be good opportunity for exposure?
(It does go on about it being a good package at the price but I can't see one, so I'm assuming that the fact that it's free is the good price?)

Sections

Most yearbooks have a similar format, which includes individual photographs of students; information on activities; sports; and other activities.

[edit]People (seniors, underclassmen, faculty)

In the U.S., where a yearbook often covers the whole school and not just the final year, these sections are arranged in chronological order by class (freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior), in either ascending or descending order. Normally each student will have an individual photo of them accompanied by their name and perhaps one or two lines of text. Senior photographs are usually larger than underclassmen's and are often accompanied by text about their accomplishments throughout high school, and their future plans (if known). Also, (in some high schools) the senior's photos will be in color while the underclassmen photos are in black and white. Frequently, seniors are polled to nominate their classmates for "superlatives" or "class celebrities" (such as "most likely to succeed," "most athletic," "most spirited" and "class clown"), are often published in the senior section. Some private schools and smaller high schools set aside an entire page for each senior. These pages are sometimes designed by the seniors themselves, with each senior submitting a digital or physical version of the page he or she would like featured in the book.

Slovak yearbook

In the UK and other countries, where yearbooks often only cover the final year group and not the entire school, each student may have more space for answers to various questions as well as their photo (or photos). In Year 11 (England & Wales) members are usually grouped by form/class; whilst Year 13 tend not to be grouped in such a way, but instead just appear alphabetically throughout the book. Its common in these markets for each person to have between a quarter and a whole page each, depending on the budget available for the yearbook (as more pages means a higher cost). The editorial team chooses questions for members to answer (such as "Favourite teacher?" or "Where will you be in 5 years time?") and these answers appear alongside member photos. These photos and answers are sometimes also collected online.

yearbook? - this but with all of our lovely faces instead!

Year Book proposal

Louis and I just had a particularly productive walk down to camberwell. As a way of tying all the show together and an idea for the catalogue. We propose a cheesey highschool year book. We've already got a name at camberwell for being arty and a bit weird so lets play off that. Do some oldschool photo shoots in the photography studio. nice backgrounds, bad accessories.

The simple funny book. will give us all great memories and should get the public laughing with us. We can get started on the stuff straight away as well as not alot of it would require finished work from everyone. (just a bad hair day).

The show could then play off this highschool theme. we could set up a funny award ceremony with dummy awards for stupid things. Or have like a bit of a science fair kinda thing.
