__**DEADLINE #1: Fads and Fashion**__
This was my first spread, and it was the one that I enjoyed making the most. I like its originality. The background is very attractive and it is very representative of what the fashion was this year. The pictures illustrate very clearly what the fads and fashion were this year. My story is also very good; it gives a good explanation of my spread. From my first spread I learned everything that I needed to learn in order to keep creating good spreads. I learned how to write interesting stories, how and when to take the right pictures, but above all how to create a good layout. I think that one of the main risks that I took was the use of the eye line, and also how I used a picture to cross the gutter. If I were to re-do this spread. I would wait a longer time to do this spread because in the winter it seemed that fashion changed, and it would have been great to include the winter fashion in my spread.



__DEADLINE #2: IB theater arts__
This was the second spread my partner Alex T and I made. I really like the background in this spread. It is eye-catching, attractive and it hints what the spread is about. I also like the variety of pictures. Even though they were all taken in the same nights it really shows what this class is about. I like how we included the audience in the pictures. Our story was also good. Now people know more about this class and it can definitely be seen from a different perspective. We took some risks. One of the risks we took was changing the shape of the main picture. But the main risk we took was by creating our layout. I also like how we used a two-column story. Even though we didn’t use an eye line, it still looks very good, and it shows what the IB theater arts class is about. I think this page could be improved by adding more things. Like for example, we could add a quotation bar or maybe we could have tried crossing the gutter. But overall I really like this page.



__DEADLINE #3: Student Council__
This was the third spread I made. My partner, Mika and I, put lots of effort in this spread. I really like how even though our background is plain white, it is still very good. I really like our layout. It is different from others. I really like our dominant photo. We were able to show all the student council members. The biggest risk that we took was making a quotation bar. This gave our spread a professional feeling. We did not only show quotations from people, but we showed who were the people who said it. If we were to redo this page, we should have not centered our spread around our dominant photo. But this was definitely one of the best pages I made.
