Workshop 4 – Playing with Grids

During the workshop this week there was the optional task of experimenting with grids and becoming more familiar with Indesign.
Even though most of the skills I know already it was still nice to experiment and try new things.

I feel as though trying experimental layout design and becoming familiar with grids is a great skill to learn regardless of the assignment task. It allows for more informed design choices and can generally compliment whatever work you’re doing. An example is if strong illustration’s are placed poorly within a final document it can just have an overall impact on how good the illustrations look.

Workshop 4 – Presentation Prep Task

During week 4 I was tasked with creating a presentation using Indesign and different graphic design techniques, the aim of this task was to show how to create a professional presentation using appropriate software to graphic design, as opposed to other platforms.

The task was relatively straightforward however it was nice to get to grips with software more relevant to the subject area. First off I started by creating an image of my name in Indesign, making sure that all the settings for print we’re correct before making refinements and trimming the printed document. After doing this we photographed the image.

After photographing our poster the task was to make further refinements to show a progression throughout the presentation, from here the document was transferred over to the computer, and further refinements were made by cropping the image and removing the opposing background.

Once the background was removed I had to insert the final images into indesign and create the presentation to match the brief.
