My Type Figures Booklet

Goal: The Goal of this assignment was to design a booklet of our Type Figure designs. We were to create an 8.5 in by 11 in document divided into 8 squares.

Discussion: Trying to figure out the layout of where to place the images was very confusing at first. I had to rearrange the images several times until I got the hang of where they needed to be placed. I simply placed the images into the InDesign document and created a small text box underneath to describe the image process. Once I was done, I printed the booklet out and folded it to make it look like a little book.

Art Student Book Cover Collaboration

Goal: The goal of this assignment was to work with an art student to recreate or design a new book cover for a well known existing book.

Discussion: My partner decided to cover the book New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. In the beginning, things were a bit unclear so we struggled to get our ideas flowing, but once we got the hang of  things it was pretty easy to start putting things together. Hue designed the front of the book cover. Once she was ready, we scanned the image and opened it up in Photoshop. In photoshop I played around with the Hue and Saturation to make the colors of the image more defined. I then moved into InDesign, where I created the layout for the book. Once we figured out the exact measurements, it was pretty easy to go in and add all the extra bits that made the book come together.
