Visionary - Updated

[Mitch Wood]

Hi, had a crit >> http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14068 here sometime ago and finally it is going off for another proofing.

On page 10 (the one opposite the magnifying glass) the gradients in Illy have rasterized a little strange in PS, well it has been replaced with the flat colour, can't be arsed at the mo to sort it as I am under the kosh here today.

Will replace that image when I have some more time...

Anyone?

nice and clean, strong layout... can see much wrong if anything.

good work dude.

[Mitch Wood]

Cheers for your time Dis.

I know it isn't groundbreaking at all, that wasn't the objective of it. The main aim was to make it feel clean and solid.

Noticed Birth isn't up, are you adding some goodies? I'll wait in anticipation...

[distruktor]

nah still working on it, my host had some problems last week and i have noticed its slow loading today... when did you try and look? today or last week?

[Mitch Wood]

Had a look sometime last week, and today just after you posted mate.

Cant say I'd change anything about it either - very solid. Love all the space you've left. Very modern, clean and professional.

As public sector mags go, thats as good as I've seen. Any feedback from the client?

[Rehab]

Nice to have clients who will pay for that much space - I like it my man - We always have to deal with ***** heads who write more text than War and Peace and want it fitted into an 8 page document with 40 images crammed in. I am liking this though - can I ask, are the white freehand lines to represent maps??? I cant really make out what purpose they serve?

Strong color scheme, constitent photos, nice typography. Well done Mitch.

[Mitch Wood]

Yeah the maps are the destinations where the stories originate from, they are 10% tints of pms289 so might be a little light on screen. I just wanted to break it up a little and give each page a slight link to the country at the same time. I had probs in Illy trying to make them perspective (as I wanted to make them slightly dynamic) and time ran out, so I kinda bodged em in.

This normally goes out bi annually, and is full to the top, but this time not much was sent in from the various offices, so I talked them into keeping the budget the same, but producing something a little cleaner that breathes a little. I feel we can adapt this in the future issues to cater for more info. Hopefully I will be working elsewhere and won't have to do it though. ;)

I don't see anything I would change. Love the strong colors and the white space. Very clean!
