The assignment: Make a 2-page layout from this one-page sketch/template:
To come up with my design I expanded my canvas to 24×12″ and then duplicated all the elements, flipped them horizontally and pulled them to the opposite side of the page. Once I did that I saw that it would create a strong focal point right in the middle of the page. I thought the page was too busy to have all the separate blocks across both pages so I made one side a large photo and added a large title. This helped to create balance with the other side of the page where I changed the shaped of the blocks and made them into banners instead. With the middle photo I made sure that when it gets printed that nothing of major importance (like the middle of the bike taxi driver’s face) gets cut. I’m okay if his arm gets cut off and extends to the other side.
