Grass Volleyball- Practice Spread


I like the font on the spread. I should have put in more pictures, but I like the setup of the page. I learned how to arrange the pictures on a spread in order to enhance the look. I also learned how to write a story to insert into the spread.I took a risk with the lime green background. I did use an eye line in the spread. I crossed the gutter with my dominant photo in order to unite the two pages. I would improve by adding a lot more pictures to the spread and using some different graphics in order to enhance the look of the spread.

Varsity Soccer- First Deadline


Me and Luke worked on this spread together. I like the black background because it makes the red borders stick out more. The red outline around the pictures that my partner Luke made are also a very nice addition. The title (which was made by Luke also), "Shoot To Score", and the red letters in the word "To" looks very good. The spread had good action shots and team photos. I learned how you can contrast different colors to get different effects on each spread you make. This spread also increases my story writing ability. One risk that I took was using a black background, but it eventually worked out very well. There was no "real" eye line in the spread. I would improve this spread by adding the ISST scores on the page.

Photography- Second Deadline


Me and Karina worked together to finish this spread. I like the contrast between the black and gray background and the black, gray, and white title. I also like the film strip used in the title. The pictures with the film strip border was a very nice addition to the spread. The pictures in the spread were strong and I like the dominant photo of Andrew holding an actual film strip, seeing as I incorporated it into the spread. I learned how to use other graphics from the internet to make the spread as a whole look better. I took a risk by not having an eye line on the spread, but I think it was still a good spread even without it. In order to make the spread better, I would've added more photos on the second page.

CAC Festivals- Third Deadline


I worked on this spread with Micah, but I did 90% of the work. I like how I arranged the whole spread. I like the pictures we used in the spread. I tried to include photos that would incorporate all of the festivals. I think the dominant photo of Teddy gives the spread a good comedic feel. I learned how to use tables in a spread that contains the story if you're working with more than one subject on a spread. I also learned how to use comedic photos to give the spread a sense of humor. Again, I took a risk with not using an eye line, but again it proved to not matter. The spread still looks very good without one. I would have added a background to the spread if I had to change anything. The white background is safe, but I like to take risk and make a colorful background with different elements in it.

Sports Candids- Fourth Deadline


This is the only spread that I've worked on by myself. I like the setup of the page. I like all of the photos I used because all are action shots. I also like how I put photos of the sports' arenas in the background. The famous quote looks very nice in the font that I put it in. It looks good positioned at the top of the dominant photo. The dominant photo, which was suggested by Haley, gives the page a very nice feel. The use of circles and hexagons makes the page interesting. I learned how to use different shapes for the photos that make them look a lot better than the regular rectangle or square photos. I took a risk of adding the photos in the background, because it could look like a very cluttered page in general. However, it turned out not to look cluttered and actually ended up making the spread look better. One thing I would do differently is try to position the pictures so that you can clearly see the background's pictures.
