Bring on the concept

Now we needed to try a new grid, and include images from our concept class. The idea being, to imagine the page layouts as being relevant and having intent when placing type and image. I still wasn't quite there with this step, yet. Since the copy and image don't relate, I wasn't really relating them when I was laying things out. I was just trying to get some interesting results, if I could.

My biggest issues came where I was trying to really integrate the image with the copy. It wasn't the most successful thing, that's for sure. I think with the shapes I was using, it was too difficult to structure around. Either that, or I was trying too hard to fit the structure around the image. It just doesn't make total sense. I think my common denominator for every project I've ever done has come up again: simplify. Although, I'd like to point out that these particular bodies of copy are like stupid to work with when trying to put them "in context" with storyboard images. I WOULD NEVER WRITE THAT MUCH FOR A CONCEPT BOOK, EVER. At least not on a single page. (referring specifically to the Crystal Goblet text, and the excerpt from Hamlet) 

Just no.
