OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Collection of Photographs & Yearbook Inspirations | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Participants Childhood Photograph Collection

Below are the collection of the 17 participants (including us) childhood pictures. These photos are stored in the Google Drive we (Leah - collaborator) use to share media or information to one another.

One potential idea for our publication is collecting the 17 participants childhood photos is for the participants to recreate their own photographs. This idea was influenced by the internet craze of 'recreate your childhood photos with your siblings or individually' ― and these are then please post them on the Internet, because they’re usually too good not to share.

Examples of existing photos:

Another potential idea for our publication is to make the cover of the book out of the 17 participants childhood photo. This will make a good example of a collage book cover with the nostalgic picture quality.

Yearbook Inspiration design & layout

For the yearbook concept design we mutually agreed and inspired to create a similar design to the 'EXO XOXO album'. The reasoning of selecting this album as our main design guide for our year book design. Is that it has uniform colour elements for a good yearbook design: specially the black and white photographs of the people, red and yellow title and sticker designs.

In addition, to the individual portrait photographs of the people again consist of the same monochrome theme. The first set of the photographs of the individuals has a more serious facial expression whilst the second set of the photographs are more humours and demonstrates their own personalities by pulling funny, awkward and happy expression. This kind of photography aspects for our publication.

The publication's layout was constructed with 'Adobe Indesign' Leah made guide lines and measurements to help assist where the Photographs and the text should be placed. Illustrations of a paint brush stroke was experimented to give the pages more characteristics. We mutually agreed to make the size of the publication A5 format, and the number of pages are 16. Previously it was going to be 17, however one participant was unable to provided us with their childhood photo for us. Due to this situation Leah had to be more selective with the photos and information (Quotes) that we believe was significant for outlining our briefs context. Below are some images of this layout format: Participant page order by names: Katie Sung Leah Chen Jackie Wan Tracey Lau Eliza Mo Kylie Lee Lewis Capper...

Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money | History of Money & Banknotes Research

Money History The word money comes from the Latin 'Moneta' - which is the first Roman coinage that was minted at the temple of Juno Moneta in 344BC. Before coinage, various objects such as cattle, pig's teeth and shells had been used as money. For most of its history money has taken the form of coins made of precious metal. The money has had intrinsic value. Many of the units of modern money recall their origin in amounts of precious metal (e.g the pound sterling was originally the Roman pound (twelves ounces) of silver.)
