Week 5.1

Critique of printed brochure

Understand, Critique

With the brochure printed out, I can see quite a few things that could be improved on. I was really surprised that Lee liked my spreads this early on, but it was a relief having missed quite a lot of tutorials and lectures. I wrote quite a few things that I needed to improve on in the printout, things such as:

- Refining the cover

- Lining everything up and making sure the space is even throughout

- Layout is a bit too grey, brighten it up!

- Move rules up/equal

- Make illustrations for the recreation and sports spread?

- Symbols too small

- Adding colour

- Making map simpler

All in all, I was really glad that I had some critiques/self-critiques on my work so that I could improve it for next time. Due to this critique, I have refined my brochure and fixed up a few things for the next critique.
