Caught Our Eye

Use of Color – Color is one of the most powerful elements in creating a cohesive theme. Establishing a consistent color palette will set the mood and tone of the book, such as this dynamic spread on ultimate frisbee. The use of a bold color palette helps express their theme, “Here We Go Again.” The staff chose to label each of their sections with rich bold colors: red, yellow, blue, green and orange. The variety of colors enabled the staff to not only identify the different sections of their book, but also to pull colors from the photos to visibly tie in the display type and graphics. The Safari staff did a masterful job continuously reinforcing the theme throughout the book.
