Colour Decisions...

We have been waiting on a decision regarding the colours that we are going to use within the yearbook. Because there are only going to be 2 colours and black and white imagery, the colours need to be really spot on. We have given Sue several options that we thing could work really well, and have been waiting for her to make her final decision.

We have been to speak to them regarding the colour, and used Pantone swatches to make sure that we get the right colour on paper, rat
her than from screen (which won't be the same at the printers). So have disregarded the option of matt paper, because the colours we are considering do not show well on the matt stock (which is more absorbent). We made the decision to use satin paper throughout the book and to use a strong sunshine yellow and a raspberry
pink as the colours. The colours are very bold, and will contrast well against the black and white photography, and stand out from each other because they are so different. We are happy with the choices an can now make further decisions regarding the rest of the layout of the book.
