layout experimentation


Playing with the grid system. The grey boxes represent the elements that will appear on my page. Each one is labelled individually. Not sure why the background has come out in black as it was saved as a white background, and that is what colour i intend it to be. I'm also intending to present the final piece on a slight angle.
Not a right lot of negative space in this composition although i may have overestimated the amount of type i'm going to be using. Focusing on the hierachy, the layout should be read from the top right (title) followed by the body, with the main image (left) there to provide balance and the bottom image will frame the bottom space, but will not be constrained to a rectangle as it will be an illustration. The graphic in the bottom right hand corner is a sort of "wild card" designed to balance the composition further still, as it will feature colour elements at opposite corners.
The composition has a strong perimeter edge relationship, but is lacking an axial relationship, due to the amount of components on the page.
