Project Four :: Deliverables & Web Layouts Mon 9/9

We are now moving our typography into the internets! Many design projects involve multiple media and components. Along with our postcards and books we will have a website devoted to your elements. Sweet!

In class together
  • Collect InDesign files 
  • Export and collect PDF files
  • Monogram thumbnail demo
  • Photoshop layout demo

In class in studio
  • Layout sketches 5-10
  • Begin designing 3 layouts in photoshop:
    Size: 576 px (pixels) wide * height dependent on content, start at 800 pixels
    Typefaces: restrict typeface choices to the following cross-platform web fonts:
    Sans serif: Arial (Helvetica), Verdana, Trebuchet
    Serif: Georgia, Times New Roman
    Type siz
    e: don't go under 10pt, be generous with point size for the web!
    Color: Consider color for your images and your monogram for the web layouts. Are there colors that say something about your elements qualities?
