Week 5- Outside of Class

This week outside of class, I completed the first spread of my publication for my narrative as instructed for today. It is my first computer draft, so I'm not sure how others' reactions will be to it. I stuck with the concept of having food trucks gradually fade into the spread and not have the text take up so much space. I had a bit of trouble making this work, since I wanted to include the beginning of the story in the first spread where the food trucks are still delivering food, then in the middle spread with the map have less text as a side bar, which would be the transition in which the food gets contaminated. The last spread would then consist of the end of the narrative where everyone is looking for a different source of food, and basically the situation gets worse. Since the beginning of the story I wanted to add was pretty long, it was hard to fit them into 2 columns that would not take up too much space on the page, since I was told to not make the impact spread so text-heavy. Upon trying to make it work, I made the text smaller to point-size 9, which I have a feeling will be more difficult to read especially against an orange background.
