Sketch
One of the biggest challenges I faced in designing this page layout was selecting the right image to represent the profound artistry of Graciela Iturbide.
First Iteration
The first iteration of the booklet had inconsistent text rags, creating awkward spacing and poor flow. The color choices were also ineffective, lacking contrast and cohesion, which made the design look cluttered and unrefined.
Final Product
The final product resolved these issues with cleaner text rags, creating a more even and professional layout. The color choices were improved, offering better contrast and enhancing readability while aligning with the theme. The overall design is now more cohesive, with a smoother visual flow that guides the reader naturally from page to page.
