Critique

This week I am critiquing my FINAL draft of the Interracial Feature, which comes out this Thursday for all of you folks interested. I had a very long and interesting process with this, especially since the weather cancelled class on Tuesday and I had delays in getting the photo. My overall opinion is that I like my concept and the end result, I just don't want to have to do this ever again. The hardest part for me was coming up with a concept for a topic which I felt was overdone and then adding the element of sports to it (which is another one of my weaknesses). It just so happened that everyone like my little coach's strategy play aroudn the headline and that is what stuck for me. I decided the X's and O's to be pink and blue because one: chalk can be pastel pink and blue, and two: boy & girl colors because it is about dating.
There isn't much excitement to the piece, however I do feel I accomplished an okay design for what little direction I was given with the text and the photo. I just hope everyone else likes it!!!
