Reflection:<br />
I created this design after learning about<br />
various design trends in the class. The trends I<br />
included are:<br />
1. Not showing the full apple.<br />
2. Increased leading between the lines of type.<br />
3. A drop cap letter to begin the story<br />
4. Using intentionally designed white space to<br />
frame the page.<br />
5. Using drop shadow and screened text as<br />
decoration at the same time as they serve a<br />
function.<br />
I like how it turned out. People seemed to like<br />
the use of the shadow behind the text to pull<br />
the apple and text together. The increased<br />
leading works well, and the headline turned<br />
out exactly as I wanted it to.<br />
People noticed very quickly that I should have<br />
used two quotation marks on the top, and<br />
although I don’t really agree, I would probably
do that next time, just because it wouldn’t<br />
stand out so much.<br />
It was also pointed out that the spacing<br />
between the apple and the text is not<br />
consistent, and gets wider on the bottom.<br />
Overall, this shows how I’m practicing putting<br />
new trends into practice.
