chuggin' along

these colors aren't completely final, but they're along the lines of what i'm aiming for. right now i think they're a little punchy.. i want them to be closer to the background color. the dimensions are 8" by 28" but that could change.

HERE'S WHAT I STILL HAVE TO DO..

1| finalize colors and put them in order (possibly switch a few colors around)

2| choose typefaces. in class gen suggested using bodoni or modern no. 20 italic lowercase to achieve a more delicate look. any other suggestions?

3| work out the spacing in the key, right now the stuff i have is kind of thrown together just so i can keep track of stuff.

4| additional text? i was thinking about adding some other text to help with the balance of the page. (right now it is really heavy on the left side) some text i might add...

a| the months i listened to this particular music... ie, september 2007 - september 2008, or maybe showing that in a more interesting way

b| a little something about each of the artists, ie, where they are from or a small paragraph about each artist? i'm not sure yet. i definitely don't want this to look like i needed to fill space so i threw some random information on the page, i want it to be cohesive.

c| something about how i gathered this information (lastfm)



so i could actually really use some feedback right now, especially concerning the additional text. any ideas about what i could add to support the graphic?

thanks a bunch, babies.
