Week Five 11.04.16

Over the study break I worked on trying to soften my designs and giving them the handmade feel that I like so much. I started by doing more drawing of objects and textures to use. I made new compositions giving myself the boundary of having a meal as the anchor point. By giving myself this boundary it was much easier for me to make my compositions more cohesive. I focused on keeping the enough white space on each spread, to feel modern and fresh while combining strips of colour and textural illustrations to add in an organic, handmade feel.

During class we had one on one feedback, going forward from here I am going to continue to adjust my type layout to make it as legible as possible, and start looking at giving myself typographic rules to make each speed more cohesive.
