Week 9


Craft: Using Adobe InDesign I first uploaded the image of the margarita glass. From there I adjusted the image to best fit the frame. For the margarita font I used Bickham Script Pro and added a green and yellow gradient. For the pull quote I used Giddyup STD and for the rest of the test it was Times Roman. I also used the rectangle tool to add a background for the text.

Composition: Laying it out was kinda tough. The image itself isn't made for a landscape so stretching it out over two pages wasn't an option. I finally decided that keeping it on one page and filling the other with text worked the best. I originally had the title and image on the first page but found that I need something to help bring it all together on the other page which is why I chose to put the title on the second page.

Concept: I wanted the design to look simple but also kinda elegant. The use of the negative white space and fonts accomplished that. I also wanted a page full of text to look artistic so it wouldn't be so bland.
