Some small edits based on the feedback from the blog.

Just figured I'd post one more time. Thank you everyone for the feed back it really helped a lot! :)

Pirperis_Final (Revisions)

For the front cover, I made the "Central Asia Institute Mission" blend in with the body copy to rid of the widow and blend better. On the back cover I fixed the quote so there was more space around it. For the inside pages, I got rid of the stacked quotes and picked one out to stand out with a little triangle element to give it a better appeal. I changed the colors of page 3 so it went along with the rest of the pages. I wasn't too much of a fan of the purple-ish color anyways.

Pirperis_Final Newsletter (Page 3)

I am re-uploading just my page 3 because I realized that my line length was much too long, so I broke up the text into 3 columns.

For the final copy, on the front page I tried boxing in the mission statement and pushing it to the top to avoid the empty space above the logo/title. Which then gave me more space for the paragraphs themselves. I also changed the logo. Rather than the solid black hands, again keeping my triangle them, I made the hands out of little triangles. For the inside pages, I tried shrinking down the point size of the text to fit the complete article and made the paragraph breaks smaller. For the back cover, I added a photo with a quote that I got from another existing issue from a CAI newsletter.

Tarr Final Newsletter

Since the audience I'm trying to attract are retired CEOs, I decided to make this layout a little more sophisticated. By sophisticated I mean, more book like rather than a teenage girl pop magazine with thousands of colors or some DIY home decor magazine that has a more relaxed feel. I kept the number of colors to a minimum and went for cool trustworthy colors, like a dark and a light blue. For fonts I also made it so one serif font was for headings and one sans serif was for subheadings and body copy. As for the way I layed things out, I started with the bulleted section on the front to get right to the point of the newsletter to give the reader an idea on whats going on and why they're receiving this newsletter. I used columns on page 2 and 3 to make it easier on the eye to read and i kept the text black with a white background also for readability.

Here's an updated version of my Newsletter. I could really use the feed back 

Fernandes second version of Newsletter

Tru Dinh - Newsletter

For the changes, I removed some of the smaller images to make room the for a larger image on page 2 to establish a higher level of hierarchy to the design. I also re-sized and aligned all of the smaller images to it column instead of it breaking out. I also broken up page 2 to a 3 column grid to make it proportional to the 3 lists items. The 3 quotes are redistributed to the article where they fit best.
