Reflection

In class on Thursday we cut a 5x5 in square straight through a magazine and used the pieces to construct an accordion book as an example of pacing. I really enjoyed this exercise because it became very clear how to arrange pages so as a whole they are pleasing. Sometimes in books or magazine it is information overload and feels too full. The use of white space around text, image or just a colored page provides a "breather" while flipping through.
