Trends

Our trends page had a lot of small individual content, so I used a lot of our graphic elements to help separate them, yet still have each story stand out on its own. The main story (wearing masks) was placed on the pink box to help draw readers attention to the bottom of the page where it crosses. I made the dominant mask black and white as I noticed our black and white photography tied nicely in with the color pink. I added a black box with a drop shadow that dropped down from the top with the purpose to break up the rest of the content. We struggled getting photos of students due to Covid, so I took photos of objects and cut them out so the headlines could wrap around them while also coming in front and behind so they were complete packages. I first applied a duotone to every cutout on the page but saw that was too much, so I picked a few objects in each mod and that was enough to draw the eye in without it being too much.
