Typeface | Butler, Work Sans
Background:
SEE ENTIRE DESIGN BELOW: For this week's exhibit, I decided to implement the theme from our template and newsletter assignment and create an introductory newsletter for a mockup travel company that is specifically designed for mobile users. I tried to use a lot of the basics that we learned from the readings this week and keep things simple while introducing eye-catching visuals to help the viewer stay engaged with the graphic.
Contrast:
As with a lot of my designs in general, I decided to utilize black and white's natural contrast while introducing various accent colors to break up the aesthetic.
Repetition:
Each section within the newsletter either consists of a header/subheader text combination as well as the use of Work Sans as the primary typeface throughout the design.
Alignment:
All of the copy and icon/images are center-aligned to help all of the objects sit within the small boundaries of the mobile dimensions.
Proximity:
The header and subheader text is in proximity with each other to help reinforce the idea of a new section. It also introduces the viewer to the most important information from each grouping followed by the descriptive copy.
