Class Work Week 5 - Map Page, Sports and Rec Page

At the end of last week we went over our maps that we had made for critique.

Mine was very last minute i just needed work to show.

We started off with an exercise, where we had a minute to describe how we would get to each of destinations to a random person.

This exercise helped put what was necessary for the map into perspective. Showing where state highway 1 was most important, a general idea of map was a close second. I didn't need to much other information maybe just some simple place names.

From this information i created this map, (this is a later update, unable to find variation before) after talking to Mark, i added place names, and made the title state highway 1 a part of the route.
(the key is was made on InDesign later)

I also quickly played around with sub heading sizing on my map blurb page, but in the end decided against it.

I also detailed the majority of type in the brochure for rags, widows and orphans.

Lastly i worked on my Recreation and Sports page.

I started with same layout as my first variation, but chose to bring emphasise to a few different pieces of type, one of the key phrases in the text, and the sub heading on the stats and facts side.

After this the page was still a boring black page with little to no visual excitement, so to keep with theme i created a contoured version of wellington to act as a low visibility background, this worked really well, i only had to create black boxes behind the words to retain legibility.
