To show the improvements of each spread that I have done since my feedback from the last term I will be placing a photo of each spread below in sections to show what I have done and why.
spread one
old spread ( left ) newest design ( Right )
spread one improvements
The photos above of small improvements I took to add on my old design, by looking at them straight away you can see theres a big change in visual design for the best. The photo on the left was the first change I did working to the bottom right as my final one.
To improve my design I took on board of changing the size of my type body to a size 9, I also made quote on my work a lot smaller but I also went on to make my quote more unique to a viewer eye,I feel that even though they stand out on the page from the other text it’s not too much I tried to my quotes link to the main title it helps bring the whole spread more too together on a overall design.
A small improvement that I decided to create was too change the subheading to something more creative, I had the idea of making the subheading more spaced out and letters missing or the placing wrong, even though this disliked by graphic designer with type I picked this for a creative look idea, I wanted to design the title to show the lack of memory or memory fading out, even though this isn’t very noticeable far away up close I feel it gives the subhead more of a character .
As you can see above I changed my first image on page one, I really liked the old one and how the title sat on the page but I felt it didn’t fully link with everything else on my other spread, I had to experiment with adding different photos on the spread then I changed the photo around seeing what looked better, I believe what I changed my image to now suits all of my spread well and it links the paragraphs on page one.
spread two
old spread ( left ) newest design ( Right )
spread two improvements
Spread two was the main let down on my old design I knew even when uploading my work it wasn’t working and feedback would be based on it to help me improve. While I had my feedback I did the draft drawing of my ideas Editorial- feedback and pspread developments draft ideas this helped me think of an idea for this spread.
The first big improvement was to get rid of the imagery on the spread and make the right page a colour page with a pull out quote that is from the article, this very simple but sleek idea this straight away gave my work more a professional look as it gave the article a big of colour and a different pace from spread one .
The left page I kept very similar to the old design with roughly same amount of text I just played around with the layout of were the text sat this was to see if I could use the white space in the best way.Due to all of my spread being based on old photo that polaroids that are destroyed I want to add a image to fill up some headspace that too much with something, with the image it helps equal the space up .
spread three
old spread ( left ) newest design ( Right )
spread three improvements
In spread three I didn’t change anything too much as I felt this spread was set out well enough area I kept Kinda the same layout but did move some images, the only improvement that happened was I use the paint parks as s background that give some colour and also give texture to the design, the text and images I had move around until I went I felt it suit the best way
