On Tuesday we printed out our preliminary booklets, looked at them together and gained both inspiration and helpful criticism from each other. I realized -- much to my chagrin -- I had set up my document with the wrong dimensions. This worked out in my favor, though, because I still needed to set up a solid grid system and as I moved forward I found it much easier to work with the correct dimensions as specified for this project.
I came away from the critique with a much clearer idea of what to include in my booklet and how to go about making Montserrat look its best.
Going forward I will continue working on my grid system. I will also think about which aspects of the typeface would be beneficial to compare and which aspects would be important to emphasize. I will continue with the color-blocking and glyph-pattern theme that developed on my cover, but I will make it more intentional and incorporate it throughout the entire book. I will also incorporate it into my poster.
