Camille Roubik - Textbook Spreads and Moodboard
At first, I wanted the color palette to be monochromatic, mostly greens. But, I felt that with the green duotone photograph in the background, I needed another tone to create some contrast; therefore, I integrated browns and yellows into the palette.
Something that I really struggled with in this assignment was the timeline. Looking at the spread now, I definitely want to tweak the arrangement of the text, or possibly just rework the timeline in general, seeing as three are some awkward white spaces. Something to definitely think about for next week!
The type choices and color palette are terrific. The photo treatment on the mood board is a tad stronger than the opening spread. Perhaps somewhere in between? Or treat it with a gradient that runs lighter to darker in saturation or value from one side of the spread to another (or top to bottom... not sure). The upper right of the spread is a tad crowded and the Video component a bit high on the page. You might try moving the whole Timeline down a bit and/or make the type for that treatment a bit smaller with slightly tighter leading or make use of the sans serif. The body text below "The Essential Question" could move to the left a bit to provide more room for the Timeline. Your analysis is great too.
