These are the developments for the yearbook spreads. We were conscious of that Rockwell font ever since we chose to go with it and began implementing it in the other spreads. Rockwell is difficult font to work with because for however strong it looks one way it could look awful in another way.
I started the hunt for a new font that didn't have so much impact. After all, when we approached the course we wanted to make the book more about the work, and we felt this font was just too distracting. The newly selected font, Futura, has less definition in its weight and curves so it disappears into the spread much more than Rockwell, which was heavy and weight by the slab serifs.
Here are the development spreads for the profile pages. With the structure we have in place we can move the profile module around the page to suit the imagery we receive.
The quotes spreads are working significantly better with the new font, currently Futura.
