Type in Context - Final Indesign Layout

After the trial and error of printing the pages with my first intial scrapbook concept. I decide to change the layout of my pages as the first layout was difficult to work with when adding text. Instead I did a layout like this (images are below) the text and photographs are in more of a consistent and organised scale. My peers gave me advice on what text to put within my publication pages, they said facts and figures will be interesting as it will relate to the photographs.

Overall, the images on the Indesign preview look decent and I will print this out within the Digital Print room’s paper stock.

The glass look makes it highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star which has broken the heart...

This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page. The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical). To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally. The siz...
