Attempting to maintain the large imagery to enable the reader to see all the detail and the students body of work as a whole, also adding cropped details of the student interacting with their setup (such as Adam throwing the type blocks) gives the page more life and makes things more interesting, rather than flat/dead.
For the quote pages and other pages such as contents, acknowledgements, achievements, I have tested using full-bleed images and incorporating the use of a single colour throughout to create a brand identity which will tie the book together.
After tutor feedback and a group crit we pin-pointed some aspects which work in the layouts. keeping the main image of the student and the students name together serves as a good intro to the following body copy and close-up images. Small, interesting treatments surrounding the type works, such as playing with lines and different levels.
We also distinguished that numbering the students is almost like ranking them...who is number 001? this is something to avoid.
