The grid system that I used is the only part of the layout that really didn't change a whole lot. Other than increasing the columns between my text columns, the grid stayed the same. I really like how constrained the text was on the page. I think that that allowed for the images to really speak for themselves and interact with the text in a way that is different from what I normally do. Having those objects simply fall where they did forced me to back away from my typical structured way of thinking and made me just let things be as they are.
Project 2 Final
For this project, space was really a constraint for me. Trying to fit everything within the required page numbers really challenged me. I eventually had to increase my page height from 9 inches to close to 11 inches in order to accommodate the content. While I was admittedly very hesitant to do so, I think increasing the page size gave me a lot more freedom to allow the page to open up and the images to vary more in size. The images themselves were a struggle for me as well. It irritated me to no end that the images weren't the same size and couldn't fit in the grid. However, once I let go of the idea that they had to fall in a certain spot and just allowed them to simply break the grid, I think that the spreads began to flow a lot better.
