I loved my progress from the very first idea to the final results. I even used an interesting font for the titles and the design looks congruent for all the substrates which I'm pleased about. I'd still argue whether we need to put the whole schedule on the poster, but the task is the task I suppose. I think the website was the easiest for me to do because I'm seeing good examples on the web everyday, so my eye is a bit more trained for that. But I don't encounter many posters and spread these days. But I actually noticed that when I see a poster or another design work I scrutinize in terms of the grid, colors, symmetry, hierarchy etc. deciding what was successful and wasn't. That's a nice habit I got!
I ended up doing 10 column grid for the website landing page, 15 rows per 4 column grid for the poster (approximately, with some elements are going out of the grid on purpose), and 3 column per 7 rows grid for the spread. The color palette stayed more or less the same, the font is still Helvetica Neue and P22 FLW Exhibition for the titles. I want to continue working in InDesign, cuz it was a really convenient tool that unfortunately I have never used before. Also I'm hoping to learn Figma from a more prototyping perspective as well.
