Colors and heavy text.

So usually I don't have an issue with the creative sides or things like that, but with this project, I found it really difficult. Trying to incorporate the heavy amount of text,incporporating a picture, and having everything look cohesive, really daunted me. I threw out about 5 different layouts, and I'm honestly not even happy with the final outcome I had. It's not horrible, but I feel like it could have been a lot better than it is. I like the concept of clean cut, and neatly organized. I like color, but not too much color.If things are too busy, it gives me anxiety and makes me feel cluttered. So, I seriously believe in the "less is more" concept. I have horrible vision, so when I am reading things, if threre is too much going on, I don't know where to focus, then I loose focus. I like the "color" in the background a lot, it draws the eye, but in a way that is subtle. It's noticeable but it's not too overwhelming. This was a very difficult assignment, and the end product was something that I'm not too happy with, but I am dealing with it.
