Lecture 112 Practice:

Introduction:

In this practice, you will assemble and use your existing content to create an initial layout spread for your portfolio. 

Part I: Size & Layout

• First, you will need to determine the size of the portfolio and the orientation (portrait, landscape, or square).
• Review the techniques discussed in the graphic design lectures from the last couple of weeks. Pay careful attention to your flowlines, column intervals, etc.
• Skipping the first page, please create a layout for pages 2 & 3 of your portfolio. You can use any previous work as a basis for these layouts.
• If you have content available (from other classes, studios, work, etc.) you should continue and add a few more pages. Make sure to use Masters and page numbers on the pages.

Part II: Export your work

• Save your work as a .indd file, remember to also save your referenced text on your flash drive in the same folder.
• Export your work (2 pages, 1 spreads) as a .pdf file and post it to the course website by the end of class today. Please also export a .jpg of your “best” page/spread and post it to the course website as well as the featured image for your post.
