Research into students work

One students work I looked at was Natalie Howey and the first thing that I noticed when looking at her work was how simple and easy it was to navigate due to the bar on the side containing the dates and months of work submitted. This made it easier to find different parts of her blog allowing viewers to find what they are looking for a lot quicker and easier. The very bright colours of her blog make it appealing and easy on the eye, attracting people to it, as it looks nice to read due to thus. Also the flowers around the border add to the attraction as these give it a soft touch, but helps the article stand out even more due to the contrast in colours

I like the format and layout of Natalie’s double page spread as this is the type of style and design I am looking to use. I like the large main image that shows exactly who the article is about and catches the eye of a reader. Also the large sell line is very attractive and appealing giving the full double page spread a nice look and feel to it. Furthermore this layout makes it very easy to navigate and read as it is very easy on the eye. I also like how the text is broken up by quotes and text within shapes and different colours.

When looking at this students work I realised I like this style of contents page as it is quite messy and all over the place which fits the genre and image surrounding the genre. I would like to use this layout and design, but I also have some other ideas so I will have to see what works best. I like the colours and contrast and how everything works well and fits together.
