Week 11

Craft:  We have already completed our 40 spreads, but for this week it is up to my class to critique them and tell them what they like and dislike.  I learned that I need to pay attention more to the small details in each spread.  I did have text overlapping with the actual image, which made it very difficult to read on some.  This spread is one of my favorites, because I first did not know how to arrange it in a way to be successful to the reader.  It was first a very simple, plain spread because I did not know what direction I wanted to take.  Though, I was able to practice different ideas and I came up with making this spread very colorful.  The image itself is a very awesome nicely illustrated image, but I wanted to spice up the spread a little bit by adding a nice pink/red color to the background.  I then incorporated a cursive font style to add to the dramatic sense of the idea of loyalty friendship and love.  I used a three column article to break up each segment.  I pulled a very important quote out of the paper and changed that font to cursive also.  

Concept:  My concept was to spice up the spread.  I used a pink.red color for the background so the reader will get the sense of love.  

Composition:  overall, I love this spread the most because it is very bright and tells a great message.  the image itself is nicely done, so I wanted to make it a full page.  I also wanted to magnify on the article, so I used cursive.
