Critical Review

Dearly Departed


I'm unhappy with how this design turned out. When I first signed up to design for the Vox restaurant issue, I was excited do something different for a change. I've only actually designed one Fine Arts department page, but soon realized that there weren't many opportunities other than photos and text. The editors think it's important to show a photo of the show or event the article is previewing or reviewing, which I agree with. Unfortunately, this doesn't leave much for me to do. I was looking forward to taking a stab at an illustration for The Departed page.

Well, that idea fell through and the page wound up looking exactly like a Fine Arts department page. It's not the end of the world and I think the page looks good, I just wish there had been more interesting visual details to the page.
