Project 3
In-Design & Page Layout

DUE: 4/25

Icon Research ReDesign

Your task is to use the content of your Icon Research illustrator file and create a new and improved layout using InDesign. You will create a 2 page spread with the original illustrator file placed on the left facing page (page 2) and your new design worked on the right facing page (page 3). The size is up to you.
*Before you open a file, in InDesign > Preferences > Units & Increments > change Horizontal and Vertical to "Inches" instead of "picas".
New Docement, 2 pages, page starts on page 2, facing pages. The Width and Height are up to you.

What should be in the NEW Layout:

• 2 pages (as a single spread to demonstrate the "before" and "after")
• Use color
• Your placed icon
• Use a pull-quote
• Use a drop-cap
• Spell Check (and also check your grammar while you are at it!)
• Save as an .indd (working file) and also .pdf (output file)
• Keep all source images saved in an "assets" folder

 

Artist Brochure

Choose a visual artist. This can be a person living or dead. S/He must be an artist or designer who works with visual media (not a sound artist). Also avoid film-makers and animators for this project. Someone who works in 2D or 3D: design, illustration, drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, or installation.
This brochure should be 4 pages. The size is up to you.
You can use online sources such as Wikipedia. You will include footnotes, so keep track of your source locations and information.
Create your sub-folder before you begin working, and an assets folder with all source images / files.

What your brochure should have structurally:

• Page 1: Title or Cover page
• Page 2: Bio page (a photo of the artist is recommended)
• Page 3: Description of work or style. Site your sources as footnotes.
• Page 4: A page dedicated to a least 6 examples of their work.
  Use a method of identifying the titles and the dates of the work.
