Peer Review: Quintin Harris and Demarco Sanchez's Brochures

Quintin Harris' Brochure

Quintin's brochure was very impressive. I liked working with him because even though restaurant brochures are very similar in design and presentation, our brochures turned out pretty different and we each took our own approaches on them. The way he used pictures of the food as a backdrop for the text was a simple yet effective way to force the reader to see them. He also used a menu, something I personally didn't do. My only complaint with his brochure is the difficulty with reading any text on this brochure located over white bread.

Demarco Sanchez's Brochure

Demarco's brochure is an example of work that could have been made much better with some more time. The layout was simple yet effective, with text and a picture under it. The text got the message and information across effortlessly and efficiently. However, there were a lot of things that didn't turn out as well as they could have with more time. For example, a pure black background is not easy on the eyes, when he could have made a backdrop of his own. The pictures were also not cropped properly. The outside pages of the brochure were also unfinished, and the dark red text is quite hard to read. I thought that as far as an informative brochure goes, it was good enough in my book.
