  • Lets look at your final poster and review what you have for a shake station menu.
  • Assignments have very specific NAMING and SAVING conventions and folders with names, no loose files. Moving forward -15 points if instructions are not followed.


_____________________________________________________________________

Type for Menu

  • Type Pairing
    Determine use of typefaces that go well together, in addition to be accurate to the look of the Festival and the rest of your typographical identity
    (max of two plus their variations)
  • If easier, consider style sheets for repeated elements.
    There are two main kinds: paragraph and character style sheets
  • Grid- is it 2 columns or more? Use grid in indesign.
  • Menu is a big LIST-how can you make it look good- icons, color, images, layout?
  • Make this easy to read.

HOMEWORK

PRINT OUT a menu for us to review in class> make sure it’s easy to read and no white border.

NOT USING INFORMATION BELOW. STOP HERE.

Participation Activity

Lets work on the SHAKE STATION To GO Bag in class, I emailed you the ai file.

Bring in next class 2 different art directions- printed and mocked up on 11×17 paper. Needs logo/fonts/ colors

even add a message if you want.

SKIP BELOW

This looks similar to what we did a couple of weeks ago in Illustrator, but this time using InDesign. Different way of obtaining similar results. Color and legibility of typography.

1 color in InDesign

First take an image and bring it into Photoshop
Create a Greyscale version of it and save it as an JPEG

Then go to Indesign/ Create an 5 x 5 inches document

.5 margins all around

Place art into Indesign

Create a 1 color color swatch in InDesign (spot color from cmyk)

Follow demo

Go to COLOR SWATCHES> Create a spot color with a CMYK recipe
With Selection tool- select none (or if adding a color select its tint)
With the Direct Selection tool (making sure a little hand shows up first), selected color and tint
Add a few words, USE the same color and change their contrast.

Take a screenshot and place in Participation Activity

  • Make a new post:
    Go to the DASHBOARD>POST>ADD NEW

    ADD title  “Color ID”

    Categories
    Under the GEAR to the right of the screen GO to DOCUMENT>CATEGORIES, then check the following categories: 
    “Student Post ” and “Participation Activity”

    Add your image as a JPG:
    •   “yourlastname_firstname_PA_march21_colorID”
  • PUBLISH (Open lab has a little delay when posting. Avoid posting numerous times)

Design Continuity

logotype/poster/banners//poster in motion

Calendar of Events (2 sided printed version)
Include all text provided Festival’s vendors, events, dates and times (cannot be edited)

This will also serve as a commemorative poster of the festival

During Class:

Create a document for B5V-Calendar of Events

  • Specs:
    11″ x 17″ document
    Margins: .5 inches all around
    8 columns with .25″ gutter (add rows if you want them to be part of your grid)
    2 pages / NO FACING PAGES
  • Must place guides on Parent Page A
  • 1 color only (to resemble offset printing)
  • Image is optional
  • Logotype must be included
  • One side will include all the typographical information of the calendar
  • The other side will serve as a commemorative poster (do not repeat your other posters), vary the look
  • Once our grid is completed, place the actual text
  • (this text must STRICTLY follow the grid)
  • All the text must remain linked at all times

______________________________________________________________________________________

Here are a few of my examples. Please create your own. Your calendar should not look like this. I started by dissecting the information and determining hierarchy within the grid.

Start by placing all required text to follow grid
Explore different options
MICROTYPOGRAPHY
Pay attention to smaller text that has repeated hierarchy. Design.

WE WILL PRINT TODAY during class, so you can appreciate the size of your type

Due next class

COMPLETED Calendar of Events

This will be graded.

Moving forward you will strive for a solid and complete design.

Save your InDesign File & Package IT

I will collect a folder (packaged folder) that will include: InDesign native file, PDF, IDML file and typefaces and links to the main file

How to package review:

Print will follow printer’s spreads, rather than logical order of reading
