Week 5 pt. 2

 I do not believe I will invest in professional printing, partially because it takes a level of control away from me as well as confining my time.
I printed out my first mock-up brochure this day (rather than just plain spreads). It allowed to to see the design as a whole, further identify errors and ensure that the work functioned together. More one on one time also helped me to note changes to be made.
The response I got to different heading fonts for spreads seemed positive, and I do believe it helps to encapsulate the mood of each destination. I did not think shifting the three points across benefited the design though (quite the reverse) so that never made it into the print out. More minor touch ups. Need to re-arrange the map page, remove the heading for that one since it's redundant and tone down the destination panel beside the map as it is distracting. The cover also does not communicate a sense of excitement, so that must be redone.
This stage of cleaning up ad refining the design is important, and one-on-one time is a huge help in that endeavour.
