Critiquing the Magazine and Resume Layout and Design
Design is the most important part of a project. In both the magazine and the resume there are some strong and some weak points of interest within the design.
The Letters that "pop"
The magazine layout is an interesting part of this piece of work. The strong points of this magazine are how much the title of the article sticks out. The letters are large and bold. As for weaknesses of this newspaper, the letter "s" sticks out a lot, and it seems to just be in the interest of filling up blank space. Also, the letter "s" is cut off on the left side and it seems to weaken the strength and "pop" of the letter.
Sideways Reading
This resume has a very original and interesting style to the way it is designed. For the positives on this resume, there seem to be quite a few. The part of the design that sticks out the most is the solid thick line that drags down diagonally from the letter "I" within Christina's name. Also, this resume has a very original take on the design and it would stick out to someone that would be looking through a pile of resumes on their desk. The diagonal rotation of this work is an intriguing new take that can come off as fresh.
As for the negatives of this work, there only seem to be a couple that pop out at you. For instance, the rotation of this work may be a "turn off" to some managers that are looking for someone to hire. The one thing that really shows out compared to the rest is the bold-ness of incorrect type. The bold is not placed on Christina's subheads, but rather on what is underneath them. This gives off a vibe that makes her subheads seem rather unimportant.
The design of both of these pieces of work have many strong suits, as well as some weaker spots as well. Both seem to give off a new type of feel that is different, but some may frown upon that.
