Yearbook Cover

Again, I quite like the simplistic approach for the cover of my yearbook. I just want to have 

'Leeds College of Art
BA Hons Illustration
Yearbook 2016'

on the front in a fun handmade paper lettering quite like the one below - but then I realised that cutting the actual letters would probably be really fiddly and I don't want to make my life any harder than necessary.


So, I decided maybe it would be a better idea to invert the cutting process. So instead of cutting little pieces of letters I would do it like this instead:



The first page of the book, I want to put a quote - I like my quotes. They give me life.
Since we're basically pioneers of this course, I thought it would be nice to have a quote that sort of relates to us being pioneers. I'm not sure which one to pick yet:

“The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before.” 
― Albert Einstein

“Do whatever you do intensely. The artist is the man who leaves the crowd and goes pioneering. With him there is an idea which is his life.” 
― Robert Henri

"There has to be this pioneer, the individual who has the courage, the ambition to overcome the obstacles that always develop when one tries to do something worthwhile, especially when it is new and different."
― Alfred P. Sloan

"In a word I was a pioneer, and therefore had to blaze my own trail."
― Major Taylor

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go."
― Dr. Seuss
