Type specication

This project is called the type specification project. This was a test to see if we understood the differences in certainways of type such as font size, leading and kerning. It is a sheet of paper containing sentences with type information on it. Adobe indesign was used in this project. Steps that were used to make this was to follow the formatting of each sentence. I thought that this project was done perfectly without any mistakes.

Notepad

This project is called the notepad project. It is a notepad made with room for writing as well as the creator's information on it. This copy in particular contains 50 sheets. Adobe indesign was used to create this note pad. To make this note pad, first design the notepad. Then print copies of about 50. After that place glue on top corner and let it dry. Repeat process two more times and you are finished. I liked how easy it was to make a simple realistic notepad, but I wish I had put a little more work into it.

Soccer

This project is called the using symbols project. It is a magazine cover that is centered around the recent end to the 2010 world cup with Spain as the winners. This cover also had to somehow be related to space. The software used in this project was illustrator. To make this cover, first you need to design the background in one layer. Then the optional layers on illustrator to your liking. Add text boxes for the words and print out. I thought that on this project, I had done well with the effect of making the sun shine on the earth-resembling soccer ball but I was dissatisfied though with the way I had used the text boxes.
