Week Three: Monday

The lecture today discussed grids, an aspect of this brochure design that I had definitely let slip my mind. Thankfully, since I did type last year and am currently taking typographic systems I am quite familiar with grids. I feel pretty confident about using them. The main message I took away from the lecture was "Do everything with intention or don't do it at all."

We had a critique in class, where we pinned up our work so far. I pinned up 6 different collages, which were the 3 different spreads for 2 different design systems. The feedback I received was that the system which I myself thought was working the best, was the best one. This went for the collage that I thought was the strongest too. My next steps are to strengthen my weaker ones, and keep moving forward with the whole system. As well as this, it is also time to start working in indesign on my layout and coming up with titles, and text for the 3 pages. Fay suggested I look up facts and statistics about dogs to include in the body text.
