Critique: Spring Preview

The second week's competition I think was a bit more enjoyable because we were allowed to some up with the images on our own and got the opportunity to design a calendar with an interesting design. I had fun with this and actually really liked my design, my calendar much more than my cover though. Even though I went wit the traditional 'springy', floral cover, I tried to do it in a way that made it a little different by making the months look like they were flowers springing out of the ground. I think I definitely could have worked a lot with the color scheme and agree that I needed to bolden the words on the bottom portion of my cover. The plan with the calendar was the separate each month by color and then have opacities of that color separating the section. I definitely think yellow was the wrong color to pick all around since you can't really see the difference and it's difficult to read on the page. I did make my calendar to be organized by date and section though, which I though was handy. I plan on re-doing both of these things for my portfolio, making the changes that were suggested in class.
