The aim of today was to take our plans and realise them as a physical prototype that we could bring to the crit on Monday. Taking yesterday's full-size mock-up, we digitized the front cover. We need to work really time-efficiently today, so we used the scanned logo with a view to cleaning it up later. We also quickly established a typographical style and layout that we could drop content into. At the same time, content was sourced to suit the different sections of the newspaper.
Looking at Fonts in Use, we came across a typeface that suited large, modern headlines and offset the body serif well.
Today was really rushed, and we felt more and more pressed for time as the day went on. It was hard to break out of the mindset that everything had to be perfect and instead focus on the goal of completing a presentable, rough-and-ready mock-up within the timeframe.
