Critical Review

Wordly Works

Looking at portfolios in class today, inspired me to review the pieces in my portfolio and reconsider the design decisions I made on various magazine design assignments. This was my attempt at a typographic spread. My concept of the assignment and my overall execution of the spread lacked in multiple ways.

My color choices are limited and completely unrelated to the text. In my redesign I will include a variety of colors to tie in the idea of worldliness. I used a frame around the text to resemble a dictionary excerpt. I like the idea of making it seem like a dictionary, since the quiz is defining your worldliness, but the idea got lost in the process and ended up looking unrelated and whimsical.
Next week I'll critique my redesign for this spread and as always, ask for feedback from the other Vox designers.
