Comment:
Above is the draft of my contemporary moment. It was challenging to decide how I would fit a wide-aspect image onto a portrait oriented page, because I still wanted to use color. I pulled colors from the image to use in my text boxes and in details, which I think helps the page look unified. I left space for the Description and Pull Quote.

​Goals:
I want to feel prepared and confident for the next public critique, so I put times on my calendar to dedicate to working on my project, rather than doing it all at the end. I also will have someone read over my page beforehand to get their feedback before the public critique so that I feel more confident.
