Project 3
For this project, we were given a specific text and tasked with creating a book or editorial. We were supposed to include images and text and were instructed to use InDesign to create three spreads. From the start, I wanted to go beyond three spreads. When reading the book, the text was too substantial to fit on just three spreads. It would be really fun to experiment with the text itself. I will be honest and say this project was challenging to start. My original ideas were shut down early on. In the end, I am proud of my project, but it doesn't reflect my style. I know we want to make it interesting for others to read, but I still believe I could have found a way to make my original idea stand out! Additionally, I missed the assignment introduction, which made me feel like I didn't fully understand the project's style objectives.
Self Critique
After the critique, I realized I could add more consistency to my spread. To do so, I would switch out the gradient lines/ shapes and draw in more "squiggly lines" that get more knotted as the book goes on.
