Pirperis_Front Page Design
After our class critique, I tried making the logo larger and having the title blend in with the logo as well to have more of a connection. I then made the mission smaller than the rest since it should not stand out too much. I decreased the point size of the body text from 12 to 10 pt. I put a text wrap around the body text so it could "hug" the photo rather than overlap and therefore, gave me the ability to have the photo full bleed rather than lowered opacity.
Dinh - First Page
I revise the masthead a bit by composing the line in a way to portray a "unlocking" feel to them. I remove the accidental boxing of the mission statement with the lines and boxed it in a light blue box to increase its importance. I extended the "spring 2016" banner downward and the heading "place" toward the right to close up some of the white space that was there before. The last revision I did was that I lower the body copy size down to 12pt and increase it leading to improve readability.
This is almost all refinements, and I think it now has a truly modern appeal. I redid the masthead in the vein of Coni's direction, and replaced the Minion Pro with Garamond for the serif body copy, and used Eurofurence everywhere else. Eurofurence's roundness makes a more elegant and friendly appeal. The paragraph rules have been spaced more.
The photos have also had their corners rounded and are now outlined in orange, and everything has more breathing space. I am exceptionally proud of this design.
The only thing I'd like to do here (beyond add real body copy) is add a page number in the center, which I intend to do on the next/final drafts.
