Rationale

 My topic for this assignment was destinations where someone could go read a book and feel relaxed.  Because of this topic, I tried to convey a simple environment that is calm but has a unique niche that makes it stand out.  For this I have to use the grid to create negative space between the typography and the images on the page so there was nothing that tried to complicate anything on the layout.  This means the typography had to be simple but also pleasant to look at.  The main thing I learnt from this project was that the image is not the only thing on the page. The grid, typography, and image need to work together to create a good presentation.  For any future project, I would work on both the typography and illustration at the same time instead of concentrating on one.  Which means that I will have to pay close attention to the typography and grid.

Showed my brochure to Lee today and received some very good feedback towards my project which I then proceeded to make some important changes towards the layout of the brochure.  The main thing that changes was removing the circles with photographs and enlarging the main illustration, this while creating more negative space on the page also gave the image a more concentration and was no longer too busy,  changes were also made to the map page in order to remove lines but also add more to it.

And last but not least the map and cover's text were changes so the theme was more obvious to the audience.

After a long week I have finally completed my brochure

For my final page i decided to use my old illustrations and recycle them into bookmarks.  This also relates back to the theme of books and create an interactive idea within the brochure.

March 28th

Three of the layout pages images are now complete

Just need to add the text now

March 27th

I have spent the last two days non stop working on my new brochure pages making sure that the layout and the text BOTH work together with the illustration to create a harmonic page.  I have also used my mentioned artist models and created new illustrations for the layout.

These Illustrations help provide a sense of perspective and allow people too actually see how big or how small each destination is.

Along with this i have also completed two of the layout pages

Realised I forgot to post the images of the failed illustration

Again the images just took up an unnecessarily large amount of room and  were too flat and bland to even finish.

25th of March

I have to redo my brochure,  the layout is not allowing the text to sit nicely and the images that are being drawn are too flat and not interesting.  I have thought up a different idea for my Brochure which also includes a map and something for my extra page.  For this brochure's design i am planning on using the artist model Giulia Pex because of his used of combining illustrations and photographs.  I have three photographs which would work with the artist model and also make a big part in show in the brochure the most important differences between the three destinations.
