King Pica - basic yearbook design. Assigned 2/26, due 2/28 - Minor

Today we are going to go old school and do some design in analog with pencil and paper. While the focus of today's design project is on yearbook design, the same concepts and ideas translates directly to newspaper and magazines as well. 

Some important terms we will use today include:

Pica

Gutter

Spread

Outer Margins

Copy

White Space

Graphics/Photos

Photo box

Text Box

Captions

While we are drawing this today, next time I see you we will be transferring this to a digital file that I will provide for you. We will be using InDesign for all of the design projects we do in the coming weeks.

I will be doing this presentation on the screen and drawing with you on my on draft sheet. I am not going to give you a link to the presentation today, but I will make sure you have it next time so you can refer back to it. I want to work through this design process with you together and I don't want anyone working ahead.

Here is a link to the presentation: King Pica
