Module 2 Entry-In Design Newsletter Review

For my newsletter, I used a copy of my mom's school newsletter. I believe that the publication has credibility, because I know she uses it as a reliable source for what's going on at the school, plus she does some of the writing for it. The information it contains definitely pertains to the ongoings at the school, and it is good information. However, the assessment doesn't have to do entirely with the way that it is designed.
While the newsletter did follow the principles of alignment well, with strong left and right aligns, it did not show very good proximity. Everything on the page seemed to be way too close to each other, and it created a very boring sense when reading. However, there was strong repetition throughout the newsletter through the use of the same colors and uniform fonts, but in doing so there was very little contrast through most of the document. The contrast seemed to be too shy because of the urge to use so much repetition in fonts and colors.
Overall, it was a decent piece of journalism, but it could have used some work in the principles of proximity and contrast to make it more enjoyable to read.
