I was assigned the task of making an artifact relating the my topic – Isaacs Newton’s Law of Universal Gravity. I decided to concentrate on the story surrounding the topic, and create a ‘novel-looking’ spread. I kept the design fairly simple, with an image to the right and simple text to the left. I included decorative flowers and an initial to relate to the time period of my survey. I also gave allot of white space around the text relating to the text layout of that period.
I decided to use origami as my primary medium to create a beautiful and simple spread. I used origami for the leaves and flowers decorating the spread, the initial and the apple. I kept the colours quite complementary, using pinks, reds and greens. Those colours were also used to relate to the time period and the apple.
The apple was the focus of my spread as it was a vital part of the story. I decided to create simple imagery, just showcasing an apple as it is with a white background. The set up of the image creates the sense of importance towards the apple. I also references the apple in the initial with the green leaf placed right next to it.

I think I have created a nice simple spread, with nice and well thought out elements such as the flowers and the apple. I think also I was clear with my direction and applied decorations only where necessary. I also believe I was quite creative with the use of origami. However, I missed adding my name and title. I also feel that I could of lowered my text and created a type style also referencing more the time period.
