ADV1160 – Week8

As we move into Spring break I want to leave you with a few additional thoughts. In the next few days each of you should be receiving an individual email from me with feedback on your covers as well as your midterm standing. Please email me if you do not receive this by Friday April 2nd. If I did not receive your cover in class you were supposed to email me a low resolution draft, without that I can not give you a grade.

Here are the handouts I gave in-class
ADV1160 Checklist
ADV1160 Design Principals

Homework:
Over the break I would like you to work on the following (please read carefully):

1. Watch 2 helpful videos about using InDesgin: (there a bunch of videos on this site so feel free to explore.)

http://www.articleswave.com/videocategories/desktop_publishing.html
a. This one is about setting up guides and baseline grids: Adobe InDesign CS3 Essentials – How to Create Guides
b. And this one is about threading text in InDesign: Adobe InDesign CS3 Essentials – How to Thread a Text Frames

2. If you have not already done so, set up your spreads for the booklet in InDesgin and get the text placed into columns. Make sure you follow the projects specifications, you can find all the necessary handouts for that here:  (ADV1160 – Week7)
You can download an example of the booklet here: Booklet Example

3. Revise your ‘Typography’ covers based on your in-class critique (and the email you will be receiving from me). I will accept revisions and that can improve your grade.

4. Typography take-home QUIZ
Please print and hand back to me next class. You will find all the answers in the handouts I have given over the term (all of them are posted on this site). You can also find answers online…

We will be moving into our second project by April 23rd. And week 12 we will be taking a field trip, I will give more detail when we return.

I hope you find time to enjoy the time off despite all this work.
Let me know if you have questions. I will be out of town until April 2nd, I will get back to you after that date.
