After having issues with the printing of the larger booklets, and receiving crit feedback regarding format, I decided to look at producing some hotdog booklets also. Once everything was printed, however, I felt that all six worked really well together as a set. I was really pleased with how they looked, and I felt a lot more relieved about how my outcomes had came out. The scale of the A5 booklets didn't seem to be an issue when they were seen with the smaller scale versions.
A5 booklets
Here are the three A5 booklets ranging from 0-5, 5-10 and 10+. The colour scheme is really effective, and it was noted during the crit that they really worked well together. They're very bright, noticeable and give off a positive vibe, which is definitely something that is needed in order to put new students at ease.
When placed together as a set I feel they really compliment each other, whilst also showing a distinct difference of content. The only thing I would consider changing however, is the colour of the illustrations, as mentioned in a previous post. They maybe clash a little due to the brightness and intensity of the colours. A simple use of grey tones would have been more appropriate.

Here are some of the details of the inside of the booklet. The introduction is definitely a much needed addition to the book, and it also helps to explain the content of the hotdog booklets. All the text was left aligned to fit in with the rest of the pages, minus the illustration pages as these were worked centred.
Although a few of the illustrations may get a little lost, the colour against the stark white stock creates a really interesting contrast and focuses the eye on the important components.
A6 hotdog booklets
The hotdog booklets came together really well, and I feel that the colour scheme that I experimented with is quirky and eye-catching. The pastels compliment the intensity of the orange, which really brings draws them together as a set of three.
On the hotdog booklets, I decided to go for the use of grey tones on the illustrations, which has stopped any colours from contrasting and going a little bit funny.

Feedback was given to add more explanation to each product, therefore in the detail below you can see that text has been added in order to support the illustrations. The tone was kept friendly and welcoming, whilst the content was reflective of your first year on the course.
