Week 3

Session 1 (13th March)

In the lecture we went over grids and composition. Was a good review of what we had touched on in first year. In class we did a crit of initial mockups of illustrations - got feedback about including colour and making it more obviously about the drinks - not so much about the books.

We then went through composition layouts on grids. We did an exercise on an A3 page and made several different compositional layout variations. In independent study I attended the clinic for indesign, this was really helpful and made indesign a lot easier to get to know. From this I started to muck around in indesign and play with layouts.

Session 2 (16th March)

In class we continued working with our indesign files. I feel like my compositions look uneven and messy. I don't know how I am going to link all my spreads. When looking at the "food and drink" copy I want to have something to make it more interesting. It seems so boring with all the text. We have our interim on monday so in my independent study i will work on the rest of the library spread, the rogue and vagabond spread and the food and drink page.
