I sent this work to "2D Gallery" yesterday, as I tried to design it in a page format. Well, the design is surely very amateur and bears not much of success. Still, I trust in the photos (should say "prints", I think), seeing them as variations of each other, and I would like to share them with you...

I agree...... not a very successful page layout, but very good photos. A very simple layout suggestion..... try to make it(layout) more symetrical. This will give it more balance. Also the text would be better off as colums under each photo. Add the title into the main body of text. This way one could use it like a 2 page magazine spread with the gutter in the middle, no text or image interrupted. Are you making a spread? or just messing aroung learning new things? Keep it up, and send eveeryone a copy when printed : )

Dear nplus, I'm thankful for your feedback. Actually, I do not prepare a spread, but just messing around to learn. If I learn and practice enough, I may prepare a spread, etc. someday... :) Keeping your advices in mind, I prepared and sent two other works to the gallery, but they are too hefty to post here, being over 200 MB. You may check them under the names of "Spider-in-a-jar, Episode X...", "X" being the episode number. There is 2 episodes for now, but three more to come. Again, as spreads, they are amateurish and very simple, and again, I'm contented with the images... :) Thanx...
