Design Principles Session 5: What is a Book? - OUGD404

Within this session we asked to get together in small groups to discuss each others work. This was to again make sure, like last week, we definitely have the correct blog posts and work up there for the module hand-in. 
We started off in groups having a small informal crit on each other layouts so far. This was to show and get advice on how we are doing and what we can do to improve them. Peers suggested to me to possibly add colour to mine as at the minute they where slightly dull. I knew I wanted to add colour but wasn't sure on what would be the best route to take. My peers weren't sure on possible colours but said to experiment with a variety which is what I will do. Apart from that peers liked my layouts so far but of course they still need further refining and developing.
My first five layouts so far:






We then broke off into groups of two to look onto each others blog and assess this to the criteria on the brief. This was to give me and my peers a chance to know what they have gone wrong on, what needs improving and whether or not they are hitting the module criteria. This I feel was a really informative and useful session as now I know what needs to be done for the hand in. 
It was said that I should make sure all my content research is on my blog, as well as looking into more colour for my double page spreads.
