Here's what I ended up with for my screen design for this week. I'm pretty happy about how it turned out. I think I did a good job of balancing the pages with more horizontal elements on the left page and more vertical ones on the right. I also think I did a good job of varying the headlines so that there is a sense of variety.

If I'd had another week, I probably would have worked on improving the oscar illustration. I spent a lot of time on it and went through several drafts, but after tweaking and retweaking, I ended up sticking with one of my earliest attempts. I'm still learning on illustrator...and I'm finally starting to get a grasp on that pesky pen tool! I'm also pretty happy about the way the envelope turned out. It was a last minute addition, but I think I did a good job of keeping with the style of the other illustration, which is good.
