Start of Something New

For clarification of my blog title, the start of something new is referring to the two page spread. We've been so focused on the cover page and the table of contents that we haven't really gone in depth about it so two page spread, this ones dedicated to you...

Today as Melanie and I sat in class, we asked our classmates some advice on our magazine (which we do almost everyday because we are so indecisive and want more opinions). Melanie and I have been working so hard on this magazine and we just want it all to pay off. Today we focused on some layouts for the two page spread and a couple caught my eye...



Something about these two layouts caught my eye and I realized why I liked them so much. Its because of the use of putting the pictures inside the letters. I have so many amazing pictures from New Orleans and Mardi Gras that I could incorporate more of them in a creative way by doing this. Melanie and I spent the entire class period figuring out how to do this and finally she got it. We were so relieved. My thoughts were to write out Mardi Gras in big letters and spread it across the page like the one on the bottom does. We played around with it a bit and it looks amazing.


Heres what the letters looked like after we got it to work.  Im so excited to do more and really play around with the layout. More to come tomorrow...
