This post is going to be combining a few different class days in Visual Communication I.
Wednesday 9/7: We toured the Print Shop and got our information to print our final version of our Visual Order: Gestalt books. I did not get a desk crit with Emmy that day.
Monday 9/12: I was absent this day with a doctor's note, but I sent my mockup to Emmy, while others brought their printed mockups to class for group critiques.
Wednesday 9/14: This day we started our new project Monday Prototyping, which has it's own blog post. For Gestalt, I wanted to make this note to place the feedback I got on my mockup.
Monday 9/19: Finalized Visual Order book was due, we had to bring our final print to class, and upload the final on Issue, which is here!
I definitely like certain pages more than others. I felt pretty rushed with this, but I am going to go back and work on the things I want to change, and incorporate the information I got during critique.

- Tyler
- Make body text lowercase. Words in capital letters have the same shape (a rectangle) so, they’re harder to distinguish
- Rethink horizontal lines, everything is already distinguishable in their own space
- Rethink border around both left and right side
- How to make everything more related
- First few pages have block behind text, but not the rest
- Emmy
- Too safe!
- Other people are making their text do the same thing as the picture, how can I make more of a unity between the two
- Don't think about the audience
- Pictures are really the only thing interesting, how can I make the other side interesting
- Toni
- Incorporate what we are doing in Image to the book
- Get messy!
- Everything is too straightforward
- How can I make people have to look for the information, but not make it illegible

Class Critique:
- White text is good
- "Table of Contents" is too close to the top
- "Closure" is the only word in the whole book that crosses over to the next page, so try to apply that to other places
- "Asymmetrical Balance" page does not read well, whole thing should be redone
- Some words explain the term visually but some of them don't like Dilation
- Focal Point page, text on bottom left is too light to read
