InDesign Final Resolution


Overall, from this brief, aside from learning about technicalities on Illustrator, I have also learned to think for myself.  Rather than asking someone as soon as I don't know how to do something I explored every single toolbar, button etc and found what I wanted myself.  I have gained an initiative that I was surprised I never did until now.
This is a brief that, although I feel I could have spent more time on, I have nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed.  I've always been interested in layouts in magazines, on posters etc, but I never thought that i'd enjoy it myself.  The reason I have chosen this specific layout as my final resolution is because of its simplicity.  Its more weighting and pointsize that attract attention.  I found that I mainly enjyed playing around with one image, however, on looking at the brief again I realised it needed to include two.  This was much harder for me because it meant there were more components to think about.  In the end I think this has turned out well.  I think i'm capable of doing better, but my priorities were more on briefs such as 'Speaking from experience'.  The main thing I have taken away from this brief is that I can now use InDesign confidently and confidently find out things I don't know.
