Yellow Pages

some front cover concepts for a sales aid which had to adhere to Corporate

The Brief The Solution

Yell’s Branding was divided into 3

catorgies, ‘photographic’, ‘doodle’ and the ‘dot’. I produced a series of visuals and developed straplines for each concept that was optimistic in nature and friendly.
