This was the final assignment for my visual journalism class. The idea was to create a 2 page spread from scratch with entirely our work. I chose Serbia native Gordana Rasic, a molecular biology major at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She also runs her own fashion design company called GOCA designs. She provided me with these great photographs in which i chose my color template for the spread. I took the pink tones used in the drop cap, sidebar and Serbia itself from the color of her lipstick. I chose the pale yellow color for the other countries from the background with the floral designs. I chose to make the pictures very large because they are so colorful and interesting. I mean she's a weird looking girl. I chose the headline, I don't really remember how, but I liked all the g's and o's so I decided to focus on the typography a lot. The sidebar is all about her struggles trying to pursue fashion while her parents rather her focus on her school work. I was pretty satisfied with this spread, not my best work, but I didn't hate it.
