BiBi Cards

Quark Bibi Card














InDesign Bibi Card









I chose to duplicate this card because I thought it was challenging but not too challenging enough to do with both Quark and InDesign. I anticipated having problems with InDesign.

The fonts I chose were obvious because I was duplicating the exact fonts that were on the card. The entire Arial type family (Arial Black, Arial Narrow, Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, and Arial Narrow Regular) was used for both my Quark and InDesign BiBi cards. For the back of the BiBi card, the font were also a few of the Arial ones and then for the signature E L L E font, the font used was Bodoni STD.

Some of the problems I encountered when duplicating cards was using the program InDesign. I’m more experienced with Quark than InDesign so using the new program was a challenge for me and got me very frustrated. Also, trying to do the gradient on the yellow circle on both programs was very challenging. I solved this problem after getting frustrated and with the help of Sofia we finally figured it out.

I would say that I am really proud of my BiBi cards duplications because they look so real! If I had more time I wouldn’t change anything because I think my cards look accurate and perfect.

Brochure

Sofia and I chose to do the restaurant Leo’s for our brochure because we both enjoy going there. Leo’s is also a place that many of our classmates could relate to since it is popular among teenagers our age. We were hoping to achieve a final project that included the menu for the restaurant and a brief history on it while also displaying images of the restaurant in a colorful way. Also, we incorporated reviews on the restaurant so anyone reading the brochure would see how highly acclaimed the restaurant is.

We chose to keep the colors on the front of the brochure the same as the ones that the restaurant uses for their logo and menu. We also chose to use pictures of the restaurant and the inside on the front of the brochure so the reader can get a visual of what it looks like. The contact information was also put on the front of the brochure so it’s easier to access. Because Leo’s has a very big menu, we decided to have the menu take up the three panels in the inside of the brochure. We chose a history of the restaurant and a map and reviews for the back of the brochure because out of everything, those were the least important.

Some of the decisions we had to make were where we wanted items to be located on the brochure and what information we wanted to put on it. Also, what colors and fonts we would use for the words. Fonts

One of the problems that we encountered was trying to make a shape that had gradient. We couldn’t figure out how to do the gradient with a color. We ended up solving this problem by just making an oval shape and putting it behind the words “Leo’s Restaurant”.

I think overall we are both most proud of the final brochure. I think it looks really well done and we did a really good job. I think if we were given more time I wouldn’t want to change anything. Maybe we would have changed the back side of the brochure and switched how we placed the history.

Dave Matthews Band concert poster

What I was hoping to achieve from my design was a creative concert poster featuring the Dave Matthews Band. I chose this band because I know they’re really popular among this University’s student body. I wanted anyone who saw the poster to find it appealing and want to go to the concert.

There were a lot of decisions made throughout the creation of my poster. I had to decide which fonts worked best together and didn’t make the poster look too crowded. I also had to decide what pictures I would use on the poster if I was going to use any. In the end, I chose a picture of all the members of the band and using Photoshop I cut them out of the background. I chose to use a blue color for the background because I thought it looked like the most appealing color.

Nothing was really too challenging to this project but I did have trouble deciding where to place words on the poster. I have a tendency to put the words in a straight line but I know that this is not creatively appealing. The only other thing that was a pain to do was cutting out the picture of the band on Photoshop. It was a long tedious process. I solved these problems by making sure I didn’t put the words in straight lines and also by just working on the photo really hard.

I’m most proud of my overall project and how it turned out. I really like the colors and fonts I used. I think the poster came out really good and I think that most people would want to go to the concert if they saw my poster. The date and place on the poster is when the Dave Matthews Band will really be playing there and some of my friends who are going to that concert thought my poster was really neat.

If I had more time I probably would have tried out different fonts and made my poster a little bit more creative. I would have played around with the colors and maybe even used a different picture. It all depends but overall I like my final product.
