Final layouts, examples of the spreads that will construct the catalogue. First page will contain a brief summary of the catalogue's purpose along with a cropped image of every ninja featured. Final 2 pages are the 2 applications forms; the hiring form for people to fill in if they want to hire a ninja from the catalogue and a recruitment form. The ninja catalogue is a fast developing industry and we are constantly on the look out for talented ninjas://

I wanted the contents page to include a quote of each of the ninjas aswell as the page number, this idea was scrapped later on as I found that the limitations of the book size made it rather difficult to put all the information in while still maintaining the quality of the images.

Final spread layouts;

I ended up working on an 8 column grid format, this was sufficient for a flexible design format while still allowing the design to follow a consistent aesthetic throughout. Initially, I preferred the layouts with 4 columns of text but was restricted due to the page dimensions again and therefore making the text too small to comfortably read. I wanted to design one layout that would act as a template throughout the whole book, this was a challenge as it needed to contain enough space to place the largest amounts of text in, while still being able to look ordered and considered when there's hardly any text on certain profiles.

Hiring and recruitment application forms;

Again I wanted to keep these rather simple while still following a similar layout format as the rest of the book. The only issue was that the pages might still be a little too small, making it quite unrealistic to write on; probably one of the only things I'd change for definite if I had a 2nd chance on this would be to make the book dimensions a bit bigger.
