yearbook cover

Can only be two colors - background and another solid color. Going to be darker blue and shiny silver - a special color thats reflective and kinda like tin foil.

You can check out the different things I've tried out there. Any C&C? Suggestions?

I like the logos a lot - did you make those?

I like the number 2 cover best
I have to say though that the blue you chose is exactly the shade of blue I like least (reminds me of the creen of death)...but that's just me

nice nevertheless...

dude.. that's not the final product's blue. The final product has deeper blue and shiny silver.

it's damn nice. I lvoe the logos. some pretty nice layouts for the covers too :D

oh silly me - didn't see the part about the deeper blue

in that case - a wholehearted aye!

Cover number 2 is best. Very nice job on the logo and everything. Makes me wanna join yearbook so I can design their stuff.

So #2 looks like a CD even though it doesn't have the hole in the center? I think that #4 looks the most realistic, but can I have the logo and still have people think its a CD at first glance...? It has to be very recognizable - and thats more important than the logo on the front. And the logo in the center there - its slightly distorted. Should I keep it like that or make it the normal oval shape?

No - I didn't make the logos. They are the generic school logos. I vectored the ship one (from bitmap), but the other one I got vector from the school.

wait a minute - you said 2 colors only - but can you use white? - I mean - what will you print on?

if you can use white - the color of the paper... why not make the cd a block of color and add a vector reflexion on it - with white - I mean with nothing - just leave a hole in the page.... and you could also write some small letters on the CD - you know - some have serial numbers and such written on the inner edge - or make the whole CD white ....and add an outline - or a reflexion in silver - it would be more realistic I think...

It's a blue book. And then there's silver ink or paper or something on it. No white. Sorry... :D

do you use jostens for your yearbook?

metallic spot color no?
