Me and my partner switched

India Duncan

Partner Switch project

March 19th

, 2013

Marche decided to continue with my original theme, and layout of photos. What

originally crossed my mind is that the second spread is connected to the judgments of queers.

My original spread is about judgment and the one being judged not caring of the hatred

looks/words of others. And I thought the spread represented queers because the public still have

negative views about their chosen life style. I also related the subjects of this spread to models

because the public is always judging their appearance in both negative and positive ways. Also

Marche thought she would simply position the spotlight on men for this project instead of

women.

The similarity between both projects is that they both show an extension of photo(s) to

the second page which you would refer to as a full bleed. Also, the choice to have one line of

text adorn the back cover is a similarity of each book.

My partner project resulting product is straightforward because it is clear that she decided

to continue with my original idea. She also did a great job with matching color scheme- she

found images of men in blue jeans with top off, so there is the addition of skin tone. She also

represents blue in text. I would however say that text is hard to read on the second spread

because the light blue text does not pop forward from its also light blue-grayish background.
