Michael Eggerl - Two Departments (Spread)
If you have time to comment, your feedback is appreciated.
Micheal – I am trying to beat a thunder storm that threatens to kick me off the internet. I can only assume these departments will not sit next to each other… if they do, please pull them away from each other in the dummy… they don’t sit well next to each other. Mainly because each of them is highly successful, and dominating by itself. Only layout suggestion I have is that the intro paragraph under Future Frontiers should possibly move over 2 columns OR sit with more leading between its lines. It looks pretty tight, currently.
I love the use of the four column grid. It breaks the information up into an easy to read layout. The only suggestion I really have is to maybe play with the text in "Underused and Overlooked" to make it wrap to her body. It might be difficult given the body copy, but the text layout across her shoulder just doesn't seem right to me.
For the Future Frontiers, I love the pop in color in the picture in just one column. Very subtle, yet very attention-grabbing. Nice work!
