Final Post: Menu

I changes the color pallet, I like this much better. I made the burger and the shake on illustrator with the pen tool and brush tool. Almost done..

I made the salad plate on illustrator as well, I didn't use photoshop for this project at all. Then I reorganized the setup a little because of the awkward gaps there were and that's about it! I think it looks pretty good; I'm proud of it. InDesign wasn't too bad all.

And there it is. I feel it has a calmer look and I wanted to keep it simplistic and reminiscent of a 1950's diner.  

Menu

I had begun in class with a different font, but when I started working from home, there was no such font on my version of InDesign, so I had to switch it up. So the scale got messed up and its not as nice aesthetically, but whatever I guess.. I just gotta work back a few steps; not a problem. 

Anyways, what I'm planing to do is change their menu into a more 50's looking menu, since it's kind of like a diner and diners were born in the lovely 50's. I'm still deciding on the colors and such but my plan is to keep this setup. I added a border and I still have some sections and photos im planning on adding.

Final Newsletter

Here's the final newsletter. It's a front and back file. I tried to keep the same color pallet throughout  (purple and yellow) for the sake of it looking harmonious. From my last post, it has definitely changed a bit, and I'm glad, I like it better. I wrote all of the information besides the quote of MOSI's mission statement. All the assignment requirements are on there, and for the 2 techniques learned outside of class, I used the effects tool on  the images. One was the soft light effect and the other was the color burn. 

Newsletter

I visited MOSI on the weekend and took some photos of what I was allowed to. So far, this is what I have for my Newsletter. Is a one page newsletter okay if it contains all the information required? Because all of mine is here.. I've got three columns; one speaking of permanent exhibitions, one for general info about the museum and its attractions, and one for the temporary mummy exhibition. I included the information about the museum plus a map of location and a comment on its award. Almost done..

Newsletter

There's something about paying to see caged animals that doesn't really rub me the right way, so I settled for MOSI. I went by yesterday to get their brochures and such, and gather information about the museum and the exhibitions. I intend to go with company on Saturday for photographs. But I can definitely start on the newsletter with what I have now.

Here's the general layout I hope to follow for the Newsletter.

And this is the information I hope to include in my newsletter of MOSI.

Menu and Newsletter

I hope to recreate the Daily Eats Lunch/Dinner menu for this assignment. Its a front and back one page menu, and the back follows this same format and includes burgers, sandwiches and mac and cheese dishes.


About the newsletter project, I hope to go to MOSI tomorrow, photograph whatever I can, and make the newsletter's focus the mummy display, because it's what seems to most interest me from that museum. Also, I've never been, and I feel this would be a good opportunity to go, whereas I have been to the children's museum as well as the aquarium. And although I would have liked to go to the zoo, I feel these thunderstorms are getting in the way. So I might leave that for some other time.

For now, I've downloaded the InDesign trial, and am watching tutorials to get a feel for the program. Best of luck to all.

Final Sound as Image

The images I did only on illustrator were the political debate, the ceiling fan, and the long distance conversation between lovers. The process and progression are in the prior post if you'd like to scroll down and see. 

The other three (bridge, opposing sports team and shell crackling) were done manipulating photos on Photoshop. I showed the process of the first two on the prior post as well, and the crackling of shells was not what I had chosen initially for my sound of choice, but my initial idea was not working well.. so I switched. For this one I assembled a few images on different payers. They were photos of the same thing in different angles. Then I adjusted the levels and curves, and the opacity for transparency. What I hoped to achieve with this composition was the sound of shells crackling in a breeze.
