Indesign Crit

 



The original Draft:

Crit included:

- Title 'Modern Day Dame' is not bolder enough, gets lost in the picture maybe go slightly to the left.

- Lack of Captions

- Maybe use less images - so they can be seen clearly

- Use less fonts - using four is to many.

- Portrait formal shot and one on far right are too similar.

- The main type face has a vampire esque feel.

- Consider a different layout more spreadout

- Line up the pictures on the 2nd dps.

- Strong opening image

- 2nd page is strong great layout

- First image on second page works really well looking into the article.

- Great detail in text

- I love this picture story

-The four images running down in a line are very strong.

-Well Written

-Great opening image and subheading

- Love the images and you've included a strong edit, great story

- Article is Informative

-Layout of photos is clear and professional.

 

As you can see not everyone has the same opinion on what a layout should look like, some people thought the second dps was to chaotic whilst others liked It.

 



 

Changes that have since been made include:

 

- Removing two of the typefaces leaving only Ariel for the main text and Birch for the title.

 

- Re aligning the images on the 2dps so they are the same level

The Second Dps

 

I also created a few drafts of the second dps which is based on our 'touch' project.

 

 

 

Establishing image works well but not keen on title placement. 2nd dps is way to chaotic

 

Establishing image works better with the black background but still not keen.

 

 

Nice placement of title and smaller image for 1st dps, but there is a lot of dead space.

 

 

 

Much better 1 dps, title works really well in the bottom left corner- as its otherwise dead space. 2nd dps is much better works really well with the large detail and two smaller images aesthetically a lot more pleasing.
