Lesson 26

For my last post i only managed to complete the first page of my 2 page project. For my second page, i am doing a piece about three juices that help in weight loss.  So now here is my second page about a proper diet. And of course there is still work to be done with the touching up and the selection of fonts and colours. Furthermore out tutor mentioned that we should stick to our layout as much as possible and only do further changes after looking at the final outcome. So there may well be more changes.




















So starting at the top again there is the banner used in page one, this banner will be consistent between the two page layout.

Below it, the first paragraph, It is talking about the three juices for weight loss. It is the intro to the topic. The title is right beside it on the right. I made a typography poster to use as the title. These two parts were the ones that i was so tempted to change. To me it does not match up with the bottom part and seems out of place. However we were strictly told to stick to our layout so i will leave it for now until discussion with my tutor on improvements.

Below it is the main article, these are the three juices. So basically, i put a picture of the juice and the description beside it. For now, the colours i use are just to match up with their respective pictures and further discussions on colours and fonts will be made.

In conclusion, we are almost at the last hurdle, submission is coming soon and i have learnt so much creating this newsletter layout. There were a lot of challenges such as finding the relevant articles, resizing and editing the pictures to use, coming up with the relevant headlines and titles etc. As for indesign, it does seem to be simpler than using the softwares we have used earlier which was photoshop and illustrator, and it took me a much shorter time to get used to. After a fw edits my project will be done and my group will create common style sheet and compile our pieces together and hopefully get a good grade together as well.
