OUGD404 - Studio Brief 02 - Development

After choosing the images that I wanted to include in my publication and images that I thought would be interesting to write about, I placed them in 10 double page spreads. The initial design was positively received. Many people liked it's layout and its overall design.

Some comments where made that I should include drop caps to my paragraphs of text. This draws the attention of the reader and makes the overall layout more harmonious.

Another piece of advice I received was adding captions to the double pages that hold two photos. Most of my double page spreads hold one image and some text. Adding the captions to the double pages with tow images brings the two styles of pages together.

Originally I named my magazine 'Nor-Folk, The Norfolk Lifestyle'. However one of my peers mentioned that the repetition of Norfolk was unnecessary, so I changed the name to Harvest, which keeps the farming theme together. 

Other comments where made about my titles needing to be centred or in line with the beginning paragraph indent. However once I had added drop caps, the titles looked less out of place.
