MOUW: Review




Basically, I printed a few pages from the spreads, and my inaccurate estimates for the document's measurements became incredibly clear. The margin was way too small, giving it full bleed was a pretty stupid idea since now the grid just looks much too bloated and not like a good decision. Since this mistake has been made, I will double the margin size and tamper with the grid to make it fit. I also wanted to include a mini key at the start of each manual since I will be using it as a reference for the stats I will be applying to each weapon, since I did not give myself enough time to get it done for last week's crit.
This PDF demonstrates the change of type as well since courier was a bad choice on print, it just didnt have the same relationship with the layout and type decisions I had made on screen. 
So I settled for Freeway Gothic. It fits in much better with the rest of the design and also ties in well with the Federation Starfleet font used.


I would probably use foiling as a proces on the logo and type, since it would reflect the full spectrum of colour, which would include the categories and maximise its overall aesthetic and improve its sellability.
