In Class Exercise on Monday

Don't forget to bring magazines, scissors and glue! We are going to have some fun and creative time!

Parts are important, but the whole is what really matters!

Look at your projects as a whole... Each page matters,
but the book as a whole piece needs to work as a unit!

Choosing a Typeface

From Aaronda:

Hello,
Just wanted to make this great resource available to everyone. It really helps when deciding a typeface to use for a specific project. Many of the typefaces that you allow us to use are on there as well. 

Be aware of these mistakes!

Magazine Spreads for 3/7/12

For next class, please bring a magazine spread out of your favorite publication. Choose a spread layout that was designed on a grid and that is attractive. We will pin up everyone's examples and talk about the grids and layout design in each spread. This should give you all a bank of visual examples to draw from.

Grid for Project 3

The grid is available under folder "klord" in the  project 3 resources in shared space
