AND....... we have hit a brick wall

Cover Photo (larger space on top)
Today in class while we met in groups I was given several critiques. To start off, the layout for the cover, that Cali and I absolutely fell in love with, needs several changes. Starting with the masthead (title), EXCURSIONIST, we were told by our peers that it is to long and doesn't look right. Also my cover photo which I took while in Costa Rica is of an extremely colorful parrot. The title cut off the poor guys head so we MUST change something about it. Also I have 2 forms of the picture and while looking at both I realized the one picked has much less room at the top. By switching the two, I was able to tackle one problem by adding some more room for the Masthead. Although there is some more room at the top of the cover the title EXCURSIONIST is just way to long and made the page look extremely off. After taking off the IST in Excursionist now giving us our new title EXCURSION the page looks clean and fits everything very well. I had to rearrange the layout of the page but I really like it a lot more than the original one that I loved.
