Project 3: Final design
In the final design, I decrease my text point size to 10 points for body text and 12 points for headers. Also, to emphasise on the various headers, I encapsulate them in a bubble. Next, I scaled down the images to increase my margins to provide more ‘breathing space’ and to avoid the ‘slap on’ feel, I rounded the corners Read more →

After the critique session on my first design, I adjusted the following:
Decrease in point size of text Change my arts and health full panel photo to just the logo and text itself Change the background colour on the inside page of the brochure Rearrange and add more elements to fill in some empty spaces and to ‘frame’ the text and photosInitial design:

Project 3: Arts & Health Brochure - Playing with Folds
Folding design
After looking at my reference brochure, I decided to try out a few folds. The first fold was the strike through effect.

Composition studies
My concept for the posters is fun and happiness.
I started off with the slogan: Create Art, Enjoy Life. However, comments where that it sounded too aggressive. At the stage, I have not decided on the final slogan but it will be ‘Follow the flow of Happiness’. However, this slogan will not be placed in the poster composition yet as Read more →
Brochure Designs
For me, this brochure works because of how the layout flows across the panels. The images are treated to merge with the texts. The teal organic shapes direct our eyes to the first panel. Then, the title lead us on.
This is also an interesting poster because it uses one significant image to convey the message. I like the colours used Read more →
