We made a limited edition book featuring clothes from your childhood transformed for the catwalk. Design & layout & all things graphics by yours truly. Illustrations by Abbie.
We've worked seriously hard on this project and I think it's all paid off. Hopefully it'll all be worth it and we'll get the mark we feel like we've earnt on Friday morning. Hours/days of sitting on InDesign has been a pain in the bum but that's what you have to do if you want to make good work. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so when it comes to things like this it's both good and bad. I'm good at getting things exactly where I want them/in line/making relationships with other elements etc but I'm also good at picking tiny things I didn't get quite right or that I'd changed. Difficult when you're judging your own work though really.
Saying that though, I am super proud of this. I feel like I've actually done a good job of the design and layouts. I really do enjoy layouts and making double page spreads.
Graphic design forever!
