Week Three 14.03.16

For independent study over the weekend I looked at visual styles that I like and began to pick
out what I like about the designs.


From doing this I determined that I like dominant text and graphic shapes and lines, but I still like there to be a delicate, handmade illustrative quality to the design. 

I also continued to work on my compositions, I am struggling to determine how to convey layers of information through my subject matter. After talking to Phoebe in class today, she had a different perspective when looking at my photos and helped me pull out literal layers of information from my locations, this will help me construct the ambiance of each location, I still need to keep experimenting but I feel like I have a clearer idea of what I need to do. 


In class we looked at the actual layout of our brochures and typographic hierarchy and readability. I spent today in class drawing thumbnails of possible compositions following a grid to structure my text. This was helpful so that we can keep structure to our compositions. I particularly found it helpful because for me having more of an idea of how the spreads need to look will help me compose my compositions.
