Summary
For this project, all students had to combine their work from the entire semester of Design Technology into a lookbook. Each assignment and project was placed in Adobe Indesign. Using InDesign was not only the best option for this project but also for learning InDesign. The final project was printed and thermally bound. This will be useful to look back on and show what I am able to do in the Adobe programs.
Design System
My design was nothing special, I just wanted it to be visually appealing while staying simple. I chose a font that was easy to read. The project images were placed correctly to match the text and equalize all space surrounding them.
Goals
My goals for this project were to get it completed all in time. To also be able to do it correctly. I am not as familiar with InDesign as I am with Photoshop and Illustrator, but it turned out to be very simple. I wanted to figure out how to use the different tools in InDesign and understand everything about pages.
Work In Progress -
The screenshot above was to show how I created the cover page for the lookbook. I used shapes and colors to provide a visually pleasing cover.
Final Work
The final work consists of all of my Design Technology assignments and projects. The cover page was my favorite part. Learning the Adobe Programs was really useful and will help me so much with my future career.
Above are examples of what the completed book looks like including one page of an assignment and a page outlining the contents of the book in order.
