For the crit tomorrow i aimed to get a first draft ready, so people could give feedback on how the publication was working as a whole, rather than individual pages. On first look there seems to be a good balance with image and type. I wanted the publication to be type driven, but the images aided the concept and writing, when the type was not enough.
The first draft still needs work on some of the pages, but now i can understand how the publication is working as a finished piece to look through. Most changes are grammar, others are obvious.
Below is the centre spread which still need developing. There are 30,000 O's representing the crowd, with a typical 400 police represented by the strikethrough. These figures are based on a typical high risk game.
I want the viewer to understand the centre spreads through the one image as much as possible, without reading the caption. I will experiment with ways of blocking out, to make type. I need to investigate what the copy should say.
The crit will help decide whether i have chosen the right spread tomorrow. Not sure if this works the best. 
I need to watch out for how parts cross over two pages. Below you get very small breaks in the text. With kerning this could be avoided.
