Class today consisted of working further on our spreads with critiques and advice given from Fay and Caroline. Some points I took from todays class was after a quick critique that font size for the text can go down to 8pt, create a paragraph style for your document and work on this for the whole thing, refine your headings and paragraphs further for the layouts to work.
In class I went onto develop my spread further trying. Intending to look specifically at the layouts of the headings and work on developing my text and what I am wanting to say about my event.
Further tips in class critique were -
Have a great illustration - the text should compliment this, and be cool calm and collected. The type shouldn't defy gravity or draw attention to itself.
Work on other spread that compliments this work. Have the other pt size the same, complimenting, the spreads should all be in tandem. Work on text heavy spread that does both.
You can change the master page grid, change your grids and align your text to the new grids.
Lock your design together so you are navigated around the page.
Spreads need to flow through - fade out or change. Does it work better your pages and designs on the other side of the spread?
Lock down your heading.
Some of the headings that were investigated from this critique -
After this I went onto create and develop these into my spreads -
From here I will further develop these, incorporate some colour into the text, make some headings larger and develop the text.
Fay said to have a mock up brief development for next class with all the spreads complete for critique. I am on the right track with these and am feeling happy that my collages are starting to resolve.
