Developing an introduction page

Following the same format as the previous grid systems, a range of introduction formats was explored. As no imagery was to be presented in this spread, other decorative formats were explored.

Embedding the colour scheme within the spread, the design follows a similar format to the rest of the publication. Flush left has been used in order to ensure the type is legible. The design appears very simple and lacks the effectiveness of the other spreads. The arrangement as well as shapes may resolve this.

A block shape has been used in the above design in order to create a more visually pleasing aesthetic. This also makes the type stand out. 

An arrangement of type and shape layouts were outlined,  with overlapment being a key feature. 

In the above spread, the design micks that of a grid system present within the publication. The text appeared somewhat illegible and thus this is an element in which needed to be altered.  

A square shape was used in order to embed a theme within the design. This also promoted legibility a key factor within the design. 

Discussing my designs with Erin

Erin stated that she preferred the final design, as it felt clean, clear and consistent. 

Peer feedback 

Feedback given suggested that the final design promoted the best legibility. It was also suggested that this may be a good place to include editors details etc.
