anthro annual

Hello! It's been a while! I have been so busy working and finishing up school projects, I have had hardly any time for the internet. I dearly miss the internet. At least I have some homework to show for myself! This is a final project for the Editorial Design course I posted about earlier (the Natural Living book).

We had to design an annual report for a company, and since I'm not really that interested in "companies" as opposed to independent businesses, I just had no other choice but to do my report on Urban Outfitters Inc. which is the least "corporate" corporation I can think of! Also, I love it, and I am currently working at Anthropologie—which is where I focused my report—as a temp for the Yorkville store opening. So naturally, you know. (Click on the above image to view the entire book page by page at Issuu).

I did all the collage illustrations (fun!) and the financial layouts (not as fun!). It was a great project and I'm really proud of how it turned out. I printed it on this natural-textured cream coloured paper, with little flecks of brown in it. Let me know what you think!
