In Lorenzo's type and grid workshop, we were required to bring in the 12 designs in relation to an existing magazine layout. We were also told to bring any work for this InDesign brief so far (the designs featured on this post). I haven't, however, explored many possibilities and have only used a limited amount of images. From the feedback I receive, I will work more-so on a range of different compositions, type and image choices.
As my deigns will ultimately feature a humorous story (Flanagan reciting the worst day of his life when he was bit by a goose), I wanted the layout itself to be the opposite - in order to reinforce the humour and treat it as if it was a serious account. Those in my group seemed to like the minimal approach but thought the designs which featured a purple background gave the impression it was a front cover and an inside page rather than a double page spread. They liked the text placement however, as it was easy to read, especially the text which was justified and on a slight angle.
