Milton, FL was established in 1844. Though I have lived in Milton my whole life, I haven't taken the time to really look at the area. With this series of photographs I will be documenting the discovery of my hometown through the people who live there and will allow for the photographs to speak for themselves. I will be using blurb.com to create my book. It will be 10x8, hardcover with a dust jacket. The book will consist of up to 20 pages of full bleed photographs.
my favorite layout is the one with the lady in the bush. the layout looks best, but i think it may work better with a different picture there. the pictures look good though. captures the city well.
ReplyDeleteI really like the dropped opacity on the solid bars in the 2nd and 3rd covers. I agree, the yellow has a stronger sense of balance. I just love your photographs!
ReplyDeleteI liked the second cover and the first backcover the best. The statement with the photo draws me in.
ReplyDeleteI really like the second set. Maybe try taking the texture that's used behind the bar and use it on the back?? I know its' the opacity from the picture behind it, but it might look cool on the back to tie them both together.
ReplyDeleteOk--
ReplyDeleteYou are getting there!!!
I still want you to play a little bit more.
Your colored bar need st drop in opacity just a bit more, may 10 or 15% more. Then it needs to be either a little larger so it has more of a 1/3rd feel (remember rule of thirds) OR it needs to be thinner and should be a stripe running along a 1/3 line.
Then play with the font size and kerning more. Let it spread all the way across the bar of color and make it just as tall as the bar, then do the opposite, make it super small in solid white or black. Josh is good at this. Ask him for help if you want.
Then all you have left to do is apply that same 1/3 principle to the bar near your statement, and i would suggest not centering the statement line per line, but block align it and center the whole block of text in the black. And don't forget to give that block some air. Your words are squished against the color and falling off of the edge.
I love the top image, but the layout is too symmetrical, if you choose to use that set of images and colors, change the layout to the bottom two. (rule of thirds!) YAY!
i like the blue.
looking good and statement is better:->
