I was paired up with " Baljeet Kaur Samra " Myself and Baljeet have worked together before and i was really glad to be paired up with her since i already knew some parts about her...
We where instructed to think of questions to form a basis for a section of text about your partner...
1. What is your name
2. What is your favorite colour
3. If you could do anything and know 100% you wouldn't fail... what would it be?
4. If you could rename yourself what would it be and why?
5. What is your biggest regret?
The answers where quite funny and whilst i thought they would be quite involved and lengthy Baljeet managed to make them a one sentence reply. " 3. I would marry batman " " 4. I would be called Mrs. Batman". Whilst these are quite comical it did mean i struggled to make a block text about my partner. But i took it all in the name of fun and i thought it meant i could just make up a story using her quotes.
I decided to go for a comic theme at first, figuring that the double page spread wouldn't have many words on it meant i could be more imaginative with imagery... The problem being communication broke down and i never managed to get a single picture...
I then looked for inspiration of double page spreads:
[ insert double page spread images ]
I liked this one because it didn't use too much text and kept me interested throughout... but it feel having an image passing through both pages would be the best, i want the article to have a sinister feel to it... perhaps abit like batman?...
I like my outcome, although maybe not the best read i did try. And i enjoyed learning the indesign techniques.
I am happy with this outcome and feel the brief has been met.
If i could do this again i feel i would try to keep a more close knit connection with my partner so i could get more info and more questions which would allow my design to look stronger and become more professional.
