The LBC 2011 Diary
This is the second week-to-view diary I Art Directed for publishers Elliot and Thompson during 2010. It's for LBC, a London radio station.
I took LBC's focus on talk and put it at the heart of the design. The photography and text which forms the month double page breaks is based on the opinions of LBC's broadcasters, getting them each to select and talk about the parts of London they like most through the year. Knowing how busy London residents are I added a little detail on the week view page, the invitation to the owner of the diary to note the one thing that they will do each week.
The main typeface featured in the design is Elephant, simple and bold, similar to the type used in the LBC logo but with a little more character. It is set in capitals for the month titles and lowercase for the body copy.

The Classic FM 2011 Diary
My idea for the design focused on creating a book which felt effortlessly classical, to align with the Classic FM brand whilst creating a suitably old-world feeling diary. The combination of Baskerville 1757 and off-white paper pages means the diary feels like it belongs to an age gone by. This aesthetic was built upon with my idea to put a double page break at the start of each month, adorned with a musical note and faced with text which refers to the note opposite and to that time of year.
