Deadline3 - Dramas & plays
This was my third spread, which is why I think it looks better than the others, because I gained more experience. What I like best about it is the layout, I think it is very original, and I like how I have different shapes and different positions for all the pictures. Also what I did different from other spreads was dividing up the story, so I have a general introduction about the play, and I have 4 quotes from a director, dancer, actor and audience, this gives the different views of the play. I learned to play around more with the pictures and a new way of laying out the story. I took risks like playing around with the title, and since it is a “love triangle” I decided to draw random triangles around the page. You can also notice some column guides around the page, but not everywhere, which gives it a nice combination. If I were to do this spread again, I would improve the spread by making the background of all the text white, so the text can be clearly read, also change the color of the title so it can stand out more, since black is seen a lot throughout the page.



Deadline 1- Spirit Week
This was my first spread, and I like it because it is not too packed with pictures or text. What I like best about it is the color combinations, it seems very colorful and it fits the theme of spirit week. I also like how I introduce each grade in the story with their respective themes. While doing the spread,I learned to use different combinations of colors, and to make sure to include students from all grades and to try not to repeat the same people in the same spread. I took the risk of making the main picture pretty big (across half a page), also by using a colorful background in only one section of the spread (the story section), which looks good and original, I also took the risk of putting one of the pictures across the gutter. If I was to improve my spread, I would do spell check, because later I realized I had a lot of mistakes and I also forgot to delete some unnecessary text, I would also try to keep the eye-line across the page.



Deadline 2- Community Service
like this spread because many people may think of Community Service as something boring, but this page really brings out the fun of it, I like how in all the pictures people have smiles on their faces, and the lively colors also bring the spirit out. I also like how the layout is simple and organized, so it is easy to follow and you don’t get lost when looking at the spread. Something new I learned while doing this spread was to use photo shop for the “stop and serve” sign. For this spread I must admit I did not take many risks, I did decide to make the dominant photo pretty big, and I decided to have a visible eye-line, which overall helps the spread look very organized. And I like the title because it is short and catchy. If I was to do this spread again I would improve the pictures and try to pick some in which people are working instead of mostly posing.

Deadline 4- Week Without Walls
In my opinion this was the best of the 3 pages of WWW. It was hard to do it since there are so many pictures, but we figured out a way so it didn't look too crowded. I like the idea of having the flag of all the countries in that specific type of trip (in this case cultural & curricular). We were not able to make the dominant photo too large since there is not a lot of space. We took the risk of having the number to each picture and all the captions in the same place.
