Week 5B- Sept. 25

Today in class, we did a quick critique of each others' more detailed spreads, and went over our assigned readings, which were about the terminology of a layout spread, and the different layouts for structured variation and content presentation. It was suggested to me to not have as much text-heavy spreads, and to have more negative space. Another suggestion was to maybe do the scale progression by having few images and body copy on the first spread, and adding more in the second spread, to an image-heavy final spread. The map was suggested to take up 2/3 of the spread, and have the rest be body copy.  Since the narrative progresses from bad to worse, my color progression from brown, to red, then orange seemed to work, according to my group members. For homework, I was instructed to create my impact spread on the computer and print it out for next class, paying special attention to how I will render the food trucks on the first page and the body copy in the second page. Since drawing is not my strong-point, I will use photographs of food trucks and edit them on photoshop in order to create the effect of them fading into the title of the article. We were then given the rest of the class for in-class work time.
