Designing from a plan
Consider how you will cover a topic by finding an “angle” from which you will develop your story.
Lesson 3: Secondary schools
Executing the plan
Ask yourself, “How am I going to tell the story? What elements will I need to fully cover the topic?” Use part of the spread to tell the story of primary importance, including photos, copy, a headline and captions.
Take note:
Include secondary modules to complete your coverage.
See how the designer follows the plan to create a contemporary design with a large number of photos included.
