Deadline: January 29th-Academic/ Organization Candids
This page is eye catching and grabs people's attention quickly because of the awesome green background (if I do say so myself). I learned how to work with nothing, an article and quotations, I just had to worry about retrieving pictures and designing the layout. Consequently, because this page does not possess an article or quotations, the strength and power of this particular page is not "up to snuff", if you will. Personally, my strength is in writing, so I don't feel this is my particular favorite spread. However, there is a dominant photo that does cross the gutter, but no horizontal eye line. Honestly, this spread is very weak, but the photos are suitable and somewhat satisfying.



Deadline: February 29th-Talent Show
This spread is my strongest and I love the fact that there are so many different pictures of diverse events. The horizontal eyeline and the overall appearence of this spread s unique in its own way. While completing this spread, I learned so much, in terms of taking good pictures, resizing in photoshop, and getting a hold on organization and design. The Talent Show is an exciting event, so I'd only hope that this spread measures up. I took some risks, such as the setting up the dominant photo and stretching it to crossing the gutter. Because of time constriction, no quotations are present, but even without them, this spread is still strong.

Deadline: December 2006- Speech and Debate
This page looks a little like a newspaper, making the page so much stronger, in that people are going to want to read it, even though it is an academic page. The dominant photo and the close-ups really make this page stick out. Well, this was my first page and it taught me how to work, firstly with a Mac, and "Indesign". Before taking this class, I had no idea how to design or create anything similar, so working on it taught me so much. Honestly, I really did not take any risks because the horizontal eye line, dominant photo (which does not cross the gutter), and ordinary quotations are all present. I love the fact that this page looks like a local newspaper, but I would have crossed the gutter at least.
