Moorpark College Graphic Design

You can spend class time working in the lab. Continue working on your menus and send a pdf of your progress.

As we move forward and begin to concentrate on the final project, I’ll expect weekly reports demonstrating your progress towards the completed publication.

If you haven’t already turned in a description of your final project, be sure to email it tonight.

Tonight’s class is the last class before spring break. So we won’t meet again until March 27. That will give you two weeks to complete tonight’s assignments. I want you to make dummies for your publication. The dummy publication should be a physical representation of the final product. It doesn’t have to be the same size as the final publication, but it should be the same proportions and should have the same number of pages, including covers. In creating your dummy, carefully consider the binding, folds, and how you print your publication. They are determining factors on how your pages impose, and how you layout your InDesign pages.
READINGS:
Publication Design, Roy Nelson: read the section that applies to you. Magazine, Newletter, Book, etc. These chapter will help you understand the contextual and visual hierarchy of each type of publication. The publication should be a minimum of 12 pages, not including covers (front, back, and inside front and back).

InDesign Bible: Read pages 199-212, This section explains master pages and why you need them. To create automatic page numbering, reference p. 572.
