Critique Feb. 21

Well I didn't have any designs over the weekend for Vox, just the four page feature from last Thursday. I was pretty pleased with how it printed and the response I got from everyone. I am excited I got a good clip to use for my portfolio. I am in the process tonight of finishing my Global Journalist feature spread. I am having trouble making it look good due to having a really long article. I wasn't given any art and so I had to find my own pictures to use with the spread. It is about the Gaza Strip conflict and reporter access to that area. There are not too many good photos within the last two weeks that go directly with the story, but I am still trying to work with it. It is kind of frustrating to get to work with full color and there is so much black text I have to compete with. But I guess that is why they pay us the big bucks! I will have more to add to this in a later blog, and I will post my work through the process.
We have on the slate the grafitti assignment and the Vox logos I am beginning to work on for next week. I am also doing two shorttalk pages this week. Hopefully it will all go well.
