Storytelling

This assignment was given to us the second week of this semester. The key was to pick a two page spread from a design magazine and to replicate it using the theme of "My first week back" I chose my spread from the May 2007 issue of Metropolis Magazine (pages 122 and 123). For my pictures I chose a few things that reminded me of my first week back which included a backpack, triangle, ruler, and yes a hotdog from Yum Yums!

  1. I like the amount of color you used Brittany! I had to look very closely to see your images because they are in pen, without color. Maybe extenuate them a bit more so they pop out just enough but don't overwhelm your composition.

  2. I agree with Stephanie - I loved the amount of color you used. I actually liked your take on the original ad better then the ad itself. I found the original ad too busy and confusing. Yours is very whimsical and less harsh. Your lettering was nicely done. The only improvement I would suggest would be to continue with the architectural lettering on your second page column in addition to drawing guidelines to make your lettering more even and straight. Overall, wonderful composition though!!!

  3. Brittany! soooo I do like your composition. Your graphics are really cool...the stitch like pattern around the title is a great way to tie the original and your rendition together! Both Audra and Stephanie like the color, I would actually like to see less on the triangular stitches, i feel like it draws attention to the stitches more than the pictures .. but that's just my style...so if you like it, then keep it : ) nice job!

  4. Brittany! Great job! You did an excellent job using the composition from the magazine and translating it to your own style. I agree with everyone from above, the color looks great!

  5. Really great work. The color works really well in this piece also the stitching really ties the composition all together. Nice lettering too.
