10/14 Class Follow-Up

Hello everyone,
For next week, finish designing your books. We will do a critique at the beginning of class so print and mock-up the idea for your cover (if you’re cutting things out please do so) and print out all your pages. I know I may have mentioned only printing a few spreads to you in class, but since you will have your whole books designed, it makes more sense to print the whole thing.


Those of you who weren’t in class today, please send me a pdf of your books so far. You can also package and upload your indesign file (include fonts) to google drive. I need to see your design to review them and send you feedback before moving forward into designing your whole book.


See you all next week, and if you haven’t yet please review the video and read the links I sent you last week. Information from those will be on your final exam.

Help, please

Hi, everyone! So I’m definitely in a pickle right now. I feel like I’ve kind of come to a wall, not really knowing what to do with my project. I keep looking the title, the table of contents, and the layouts over and over again, but I don’t know how to go about revising them further. I’m struggling to see what I should change to make them any better.

Any feedback would be extremely helpful. All I know is that I want my font book to have a radial theme and a crisp, clean layout otherwise. I do have a grid system, but one side of the spread is just a bit different from the other. Also, if anyone has a better title suggestion, I’m all ears!
