They quite liked Amy's glitches images for the over, as they represented reworking photographs, however they weren't too sure about the bright colours, and that they should be muted down as to not detract from the work.
They also liked the stamp idea for giving authenticity to the concept and yearbook. And using a modern stamp design with an old/traditional process such as letterpress, could represent the concept well. For this we are going to create the stamp using letterpress to get that grainy, real quality, that we will then scan in and manipulate. This could also reflect through to the contents, as the students names could also be letterpresses and scanned in so give that same quality and consistent feel.
Here is the contact report following the meeting:
