This is a Remembrance Programme design I done for Portsmouth Grammar School. I illustrated poppies and placed them horizontally on each page with a faded image of the sea in the background. The client, suggested the concept within the brief, to be of an image of the ‘dark sea’ to reflect the poem inside the programme – That Saying Goodbye at the Edge of the Dark.
I decided to layout the illustrated poppies horizontally rather than vertically as when the programme is open, there is more scope for different sizes and lengths of the poppies. I kept the colour pallet to a minimum of the traditional reds and colour picked some blues from the image of the sea.
