Research on hierarchy
I did some reading on how I could improve my content layout structure, and previously the problem that my advisor pointed out was the hierarchy issue.
Learning points:
Identifying patterns - F-pattern and Z-pattern
Playing with sizes
Using space and texture
Weight and pairing of typefaces
Applying different colors and tints
Playing with direction - especially opposing direction that would break the grid and stand out
Layout update
As Week 18 (Final week) is nearing, I have to quickly have a more finalized version of the content layout as I have other important tasks to worry about too such as the technical programming and 3D modelling. Hopefully things will proceed smoothly, fingers-crossed!
That's all for now, in the next blog I will be updating further progress on my project.
