Practical work crit

I am going to create multiple designs for the same exhibition. I will fill the design up with words.

Do you think I should experiment with different shades of blue in the design or keep to the game blue shade throughout the design?

• Different shades. It gives a design more depth. 
• Same shade of blue would show consistency throughout.
• Same shade might be more classy.
• Different shades to increase depth
• Different shades but keeping it to a maximum of 3?
• Different shades would relate more to the mono print theme and as long as kept similar would add depth and not take away from the consistency. 
• Different shade could be informed through mono print theme.
• Different shades would give depth to the design. Make the date, title and location their own individual shades of blue so they're clear.

Additional comments:

• Interesting idea
• Maybe leave more space in-between words (not letters)
• I would look at some of the trends in graphic design to see how designers design typographical posters. www.trendlist.org
• Strong idea and clear work to essay topic. Really strong well done
• Look into different ways it could be produced

Any other layouts I could try?

• All horizontal? Keeping the varied scale so lines don't read into each other
• More variation in size of font perhaps?
• Maybe try to leave a wider margin?
• Experiment with the spine idea more through the layout - slight diagnosis of the side text would make the idea clearer just something to try?
• Try using a grid for more consistent layout
• (Look at Muller-Brockman) kerning lighten the text
