EXAMPLE : 3D FOR PRINT, PAGE DESIGN
I really enjoy spreads. Fruit spreads on biscuits, cheese spreads on toast, and especially spreads on paper. The bulk work of any publication is going to be quick and clean, following the style book and fitting the puzzle pieces. It’s rewarding work and can be challenging.
Though every designer secretly wants (read: begs for) a nice and fat two-page spread. Give me room for info-graphics, 3D renderings, giant pull out quotes that sum up the story, and in this case, panoramic pictures and a design that mimic and online edition with more information and interactivity. And please, give me 4-color next time!
BACK STORY: Originally, this was not slated to have 3D modeling
in it at all. Tim, the panoramic photographer, needed a few extras hours to get the stitching perfect, and we were somehow ahead of schedule. So I took the very rough models I had started for the interactive, beefed them up and presto, secondary art elements.
