Question to answer about your LAYOUT:
TEACHER EXAMPLE
DOUBLE
What caught your eye? The cut-outs of books and shells caught my attention. The images made me think of reading on a beach.
The shells and the books are what most caught my eye mainly because i look at the images first and decide if i’m going to read it.
What is visually appealing to you? The use of color, specifically green, is appealing. It’s in the text to divide sections and it’s also in the picture of the books. I also like the Q&A down the right side of the page for related material.It’s easy to see what goes together. There are a lot of entry points into this page.the images going into the other pages.
What is the focal point of the page? The images in the middle are the focal point.
What do you not like about this page? I don’t love the rounded line around “class redo” because everything else is sharp-edged. I would have liked the center image to be a little bigger-- to cross the halfway line of the page.
Where in the yearbook would this layout work well? (ex. clubs, mugshots, events etc…) This layout could be used for a “best of” page from the year.
