Final Spread for claudia.

The two seperate pages of the spread as for some reason this is how it saved the document as a jpg.

Further development of DPS for Claudia.

Finishing writing my article instead of placeholder text and formatting the body copy as I want it. Here I've used Univers Bold condensed in caps for the headers and breakout quotes. I think this gives a good platform for differentiating between question and answer.

I then continued to work with different backgrounds and ideas to link it with Claudia. I worked with the idea of cross stitch and despite the interview being totally fabricated, there is elements of truth within it. Claudia liking cross stitch is one of those... So I tried to create the appearance of cross stitch in the background. I think it gives a nice effect...

Development of my layout.

 Very initial ideas for the spread, introducing the (unvectored) image of the crow and a quote)

 Starting to add greater detail such as drop caps and page reference.

 further experimentation with page referencing, adding numbers at the top aswell as at the bottom of the spread.

 Altering the position of the references.

 Change of typeface for the header and positioning of the strapline.

 changing the references at the top again.

 Re-adjusting the header and a change of face for the strapline. This one is Justus.

 Looking at changing the page reference format at the bottom of the page, prefer the previous format.

 Change of the header to Justus in Caps

 Removing details from the centre. looking at simplifying the layout.

 Trying lines across the page, again I prefer the original format of these references.

 Looking at differing line lengths for the pages.

 Back to the previous format, this time including Claudia's hair vectored.

 Looking at the inclusion of a breakout quote. changing postion, point size and font.

Imagery for indesign.

 The original image from an internet search... definitely not very good quality at all!

 A screenshot of the image in situe in a spread, as is visible it was very pixelated indeed so I decided to take action. Vectoring the crow.

 This is the pixelated crow placed over the original image of Claudia.

 The process of vectoring the crows cacky bird legs.

 My vectored crow (red) along with the original crow...

 Again the finished vector, this time black, s a crow probably would be.

 The vector image of a crow placed upon Claudia's head.

 The start of vectoring Claudia herself, again to avoid poor image quality from the internet. I think this will also work well with the simplicity of the vectored crows silhouette.

 

 Claudia knitting away (cross stitch young talent '94 ((not true)))
