ADV1160 – Week10

On April 28, 2010, in ADV1160 - Desktop Publishing, Week 10, by Genevieve HItchings

As we move into the final weeks of the semester it’s time to begin the final project. We will be creating a promotional flyer to encourage New Yorkers to follow 10 easy tips, to save money while simultaneously making the City a healthier place to live. For this project I would like you to reference the style of one  of the designers that we have looked at over the course of the semester. For example once the project is finished you should be able to say this design was influenced by David Carson’s work.

Handout with the specifications for the final project:
ADV1160-FinalProject
and here is the text that goes with it.

Homework I would like you to:
1. Read the text and decide which of the 10 list items you will be focusing on.
2. Sketch out a rough draft of the flyer with paper and pencil (8.5″ x 11″)
3. Create a (research) collage in Illustrator with a collection of different symbols that you might use for the project as well as the 4 color swatches you would like to work with.
