The use of grids. 

[maximeehmann]

week 9 grids

Continuing the collection of concepts for the final publication we were taught  the use of grids in publications and their effect. I do not usually use grids when it comes to text in a design. 

“The space between each column can determine the readability of text. The wide spaces between columns containing large amount of text make the columns less intimidating to the eye and easier to read.” https://designshack.net/articles/layouts/practical-tips-for-utilizing-columns-of-text-in-your-layouts/

This is my final publication, I edited the fonts to more of a softer font, made my timeline easier to read and edited my pictures to reduce pixelation.

feedback

After my feedback i needed to change my timeline, font and certain images to improve my publication. 

[maximeehmann]

This is what i created as my first test for my publication.

Week 7 - Introduction to Summative Publication

[maximeehmann]

I will be using these colours as this is the colour scheme Lissitsky uses.

Final Timeline

This timeline more accurately represents what El Lissitsky portrays as a designer. I also made it landscape to properly sit into the publication. 

Reflection

Overall I am happy with my process and my final product. El Lissitsky has a style that i usually would not use on other  design projects, so this pushed me but I enjoyed the new concepts.

What went well:

I feel that the combination of the timeline layout and el lissitsky’s style complimented each other well. I am happy with the simplicity as I think it mimics Lissitskys work well. 

What could have been improved:

Although I am happy with the final timeline I feel that my process could have been better.  I could have taken more time to do deeper searches into him, more specifically his design style.

Some examples of el Lissitzky’s typefaces 

negative space

Lines , Circles

Red Black White 

Typography plays a big role 

[maximeehmann]

Here are some examples of my timelines I made. 

First Timeline Attempt. These timelines are not made well, they do not fit the space and are slightly chopped up. The negative space is good, but not used correctly. The way the information is displayed is simple and can be improved to be more interesting. This design correctly represent his colour scheme most commonly used (red, white and black.)

I have inserted all my timeline practises.
