When I read on the timeline handout that the Titanic sank during the time period I had been assigned geopolitics for, I immediately wanted to make a spread on the topic. I’ve always loved the Titanic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My initial idea was to do a closeup cross section of the Titanic with explanations and illustrations of the various parts of the ship. Although that would have been cool, I think what I ended up doing fits into the geopolitical category much better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important part of the Titanic is that the “unsinkable” ship sank, so I chose to portray a dramatic scene of the sinking. I struggled a bit with having enough space for the text while taking margins into consideration. I needed a fair amount of text because the story of the Titanic is generally known, so I wanted to add information that may not be common knowledge while still having the basic information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The typeface I used for the title was the most popular font in 1912, the year the Titanic sank – I figured that would be relevant to the time period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overall I am quite happy with how the spread turned out. I would give myself an 8\/10. I think the illustrations and design fit well together and the overall spread is nice. There are a few minor hiccups I don’t particularly love, like the word ‘tragically’ cutting into the side of the iceberg a little bit and the general lining up of text in some places could have been planned out better. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
