The idea is came from the most common composing that can see at everywhere.Put the title at the top and subtitle below it. Lastly, the text orderly from left to right.


Fig 5
(6 May 2023)

I placed the title in the middle and tilt it a little bit.Then draw two lines on both sides of it and put the subtitle on the left side of line.Lastly place the text as shown in figure.





Fig 6
(101 May 2023)
The idea comes from the word 'world' so I make two circle and place them on left and right (There has a line from big circle to small circle, it is to express the title). Then the subtitle places below the title and put the text into three columns.

Feedback 

Week 6 - No too many fonts in an artwork 

Week 7 - The character length should be in suitable length, cannot too long.The title should let the reader read first and the type spacing cannot gap.



Reflection

The text formatting and expression is quite difficult to hand it. It has many details to make the whole thing looks nice and it is interesting to learn for me.I need to brainstorm all the ideas as I can and related to the theories that I learnt.
