Here are the photoshop mock-ups. I only needed to do a couple, but I wanted to see how it would look if it were completely done- so I decided to do all of my spreads into a mockup.

This is the front cover- I tried throughout by brochure to have the rocks go along with what the brochure was about, and almost bring it to life just using the symbloism. 

I really tried to focus on alignement and having everything throughout the brochure align with one another- or with some element of the page. With this I had the caption on the left align with the picture and text on the right. I also thought the color red was fitting as the article that I choose is talking about the Savior and His atonement.

I really like how this picure turned out, and wanted to make it into a whole page, so it could really be appreciated. When I tried to put text on top, it was just really hard to read, no matter the color. So I thought I could do like I did on the cover, and add a transparent background behind the text to really bring it out. I think that it turned out really nicely and very readable!

I tried to change up the spreads a bit, but to keep the overall feel the same, so that all the pages would really go together. I kept with the two columns that I started with, and I tried to have all the columns start at the same spot on all the pages and be the same width. Even when I just had one column, I made it the same width as one of the two columns.

With this one, I thought that the picture was showing the rocks under the water and how just a small part of the rock was showing, representing the circle around Jesus getting smaller. These two columns also match the width of the other one, and are aligned with the black background and the line over the page number.

I wasn't so sure about the three pictures, being above and below the text, but in the end I thought it worked as it filled more of the page, and used the white space to a better ability. I also went through and added the subheadings, to break up the long columns of text, to make it more visually appealing, and also easier to read and skim through to know the different parts of the article.

I like the way that this page turned out the the two pictres on either corner, balancing each other out. The big picture has just a small bit of text and the little picture having more text so they became balanced. I also used alignment with the bottoms of the pictures and text being aligned together.

This picture really brought the red together as I had the red candle and bowl that the rocks were in. I wanted this also to be a full spread and the last one, to tie everything together. The rock with the chip in it is the main focus point, to know that even in our imperfections Christ will stand by us.

I wanted this one rock on the back to represent Christ and how He alone is who we need to trust in. I once again aliged the bottom of the picture with the top of the text, and had the text in the same spot as where the other box is on the inside front cover- also used the same format and font sizes.
