Project 2 taught me a variety of ways to print. My intention on the booklet was to start with my noun “Cow” and to make it flow and connect each noun with another. Using different format of paper, crop marks, digital workflow, working with image modifications, manually printing, printing booklet, working with Pantone colors, and using InDesign. I learned more about image scale compared to project 1 and when using grayscale I did more editing on Photoshop. My Pantone colors were black and magenta since I felt it would look good on yellow and blue paper. The booklet has 16 pages, an infold, and a cover. The final book measures out to be 5 × 7 inches, 10 × 7 inches flat, including a 15 × 7 inch infold. Click here to view my dropmark with images for my booklet.
