Great job, Nehemias! I think you've done very well creating the mood you want. The layout is very well balanced and clean looking. I like it a lot! I have a couple of suggestions you might consider: First, You might want to leave a little more space between the text and the images when you wrap the text. Second, think about being more consistent with the frames (stokes) around the images... you've got strokes on most of them, but not on pages six and seven. Also, the strokes around the images blend into the strokes around the pages, so you could maybe do the images with a gray stroke and the page strokes could remain black (or vica versa)... that would give more differentiation. Likewish a small space between the images and the page border would put a little white between them to set them apart. You could also add a quote or something at the very end of your text (or elsewhere on that page) to take up that empty space.
ReplyDeleteLooks fine now, it's just a matter of taste.
So how did you upload the spreads? When you export as jpegs, does each page export seperately? Or can you save the spreads as jpegs?

Nevermind about uploading the spreads... I figured it out. Wish I could sove my printing problem now... :-(
