Mid Term Blog

For this article I decided to use an aggressive drop cap. I was told a positive direction would to pull the text away from the large graphic. By doing this i create less tension which i feel is effective. I continued with my "separation" being cut off to emphasize the separation from a snowboard. 
Because this layout was originally sparse i added graphic snowflakes with a similar blue shade as the texts. My goal was to create a graphic atmosphere for the graphic snowboarder, hopefully creating intrigue in the snowboarding lessons. 
For my ad I decided to stay consistent with the number three. It originally held me back from promoting my project but after a few revisions I emphasized the product more and a website that viewers can order the product from. 

For the final how safe project i decided to utilize the negative space due to lack of text. I used thin vertical blocks of text to fill areas that were lacking in previous layouts. I decided to leave the read outline to also take up space and really draw the viewer into the article. 

I was told that this layout was particularly boring. To change it up, i flipped and rotated my main graphic horizontally. I added more color in the headline for movement and contrast. I also put the side bar in the bottom right corner rather than taking over a whole column. 

For my final ceramics piece i choose to break the ceramic pot up by adding white text to highlight the key elements. To reiterate the fact that it is a ceramics class i choose to put an emphasis on ceramics. I also put an emphasis on the dates so viewers know when they can participate.
