typeONE: element web layouts

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------

the web layouts didn't seem to come as naturally for me as the print spreads.  one issue was the size restrictions of the body copy.  instead of the elegant 8/11, i bumped it up to 12/14.  when constructing the layout, i tried to keep my view as close to true size as possible so that i could maintain the legibility of the body copy on the computer screen.  any smaller, and (at least to my eyes) letters began to blur together.

the page size is also half of what it was in the print spreads, so i have less white space to play with.  especially with the larger body copy.

the vertical layout was also more difficult to work with, because text naturally is such a linear left to right form.  it feels much more free in a landscape format.  in the vertical, i had to stack elements, which just looked boring to me.  i'm interested to see what marty's solutions might be.
