5366 Week 1 Manuscript Reflection

The manuscript I chose was Alice's Adventures Under Ground. It was just as I thought it would be. Before opening up this story I thought about what it would of looked like back then and I was surprised that it hasn't changed much. All four principles of design are represented in this story. Starting with contrast, it can be found on most pages with the print being darker than the page. The title page and page one were colorful which brought attention to the reader. Repetition was used throughout the story with the font, size and layout being examples. Alignment was used in several areas of this text as well. The graphics were placed with the text wrapping around them. Graphics were also in different corners of the page as well as full page with a side view layout. Proximity was used with the graphics being placed throughout the story bringing attention to the passage. The manuscript was bound in black leather as well as the dedication page was dedicated to Alice demonstrating the importance of the manuscript. I thoroughly enjoyed investigating this piece of writing.
