The InDesign Process and Desicion Making

The comments left on my survey were what I used to amend my layouts and some tasks. Nothing was changed for my front cover, but after printing the front page I would change the text to be bigger or bolder if possible as it looks quite fragile, and as it's the cover it ideally needs a bigger impact.

The first spread was changed slightly, removing the second question and replacing it was an explanation about what it means to be significant and a few examples. The reason for this was that one person left a comment that a lot of children aged 5 would not understand. Another suggestion was that some of the white text is readable, and some was not, so to change some text from white to black. 

The second spread has changed quite dramatically, as I decided that each spread would be equal to two pages, and with a fold in the page, any text that crossed the 'fold' would be lost when printed. I also had more information than I originally thought and had to make room, this was the reason for the first half being changed to landscape, as I don't for see it being a problem with the children. 

One area I felt that had not been covered much was areas for writing, I therefore decided that I would include another small task, asking three questions about each significant person after having read information about them. The questions daily ask why they think each significant person's contributions were important to society, as I feel it is important to develop opinions at an early age, and also to take information and potentially understand its importance within context of their world around them. The original map is still included as a small, lighthearted task. Looking back on this idea now, it may have been good to leave the map uncoloured so that it was left as a colouring task also.

The back cover remains very similar, but I have added both logos to the back as well as the front as there was not much else to include. The text gives a small explanation as to the content of the e-activity book, why it has been made, and who organised it. I've also included at the bottom that there is a welsh version available, and vice versa on the English version.  

Overall, I am happy with the outcome of the project. I feel if I had the time again I may have included another hand drawn, or personally designed task, rather than including as much writing.
