Survey 2: Science and Discovery (0-1450) Rationale

The spread that I made for survey 2 is about the four temperaments, which is the first attempt at giving reasons to why a person becomes sick. I copied an illustration from a book about the four tempers. I used the round formatting found in some books written about the four humors as well. I expanded on the two figures towards the edges to make sure that the bleed would not ruin the illustrations at the edges. I also kept the writing away from the center to prevent it getting lost in the centerfold.

Some things that I could improve on would be the size and colour of the title and the headings. It is not clear that the inner parts of the circle fall under the categories of the four tempers. The title is also very small, and I could have made it more distinct so that it wouldn’t get lost within the other elements of the spread.

Overall, I think I made a very interesting spread and I am happy with the result. I would give myself an 7/10 for the strong composition and overall look of the piece, but I could have put more information about what the temperaments were and give more context to the reader.
