Bid In Cards

INDESIGN

INDESIGN
QUARK
For the Bid in Cards it took a lot of time to get everything right. This was defenitly the most time consuming project we have had in this class. Indesign was the easist to use. I really did not like Quark at all. In Indesign the tools were more acsessable and easy to find where as in Quark it made it harder to find the tools you needed. I had a hard time curning the letters in Indesign but once I found the tool in was 10 times easier. In quark it took me so long to find the tool I couldn't find it for a couple of days so I had to postpone doing the heading for a while. After I found the tool it was just as easy as Indesign. Finding the magazine cover was a little hard but after I went on the Nylon website I figured it out. I really had a hard time finding fonts for the cards. On my card there were so many different fonts that it made it hard to find the exact ones. If I had more time to work on these cards then I would have concentrated more on the fonts and making sure I had the exact ones. Overall I feel like I did a good job and made it look almost the same as the original. In the end I did like this project even though it took a lot of time. I still feel like I learned a lot from this project.

Web Site for Brochure

For my online brochure of Cirque du Soleil, I went with a simple yet clean and elegant look. The lay out is basic but it is easy to find everything on the home page as well as on the other pages. I decided to choose a color scheme of black, pink, and blue. The other pages: About, Ticket, and Contact are highlighted in these colors. On the home page there are colorful pictures that show scenes of Cirque du Soleil. On the top of the Home page there is About, Ticket, and Contact. Then at then bottom of the page there is the Belgio Hotel at Las Vegas and this is where the show O is being preformed. O is one of the many Cirque du Soleil shows. The other pages are simple as well but give a lot of information about the show and where you can buy tickets.

Brochure

For my Brochure my partner and I decided to do Cirque Du Soleil at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. This is something that my partner and I are really interested in Cirque Du Soleil and I hope some day I will be able to go see it. We wanted to use bright colors and pictures to demonstrate how lively of a performance it is. We were hoping to achieve a professional, yet fun look for the brochure. I feel we have successfully achieved this goal.

I found it hard to get certain pictures that were not pixilated. It was surprising to see that on the website they did not have high quality pictures. We had to be very selective about what pictures we used and how to make them look good on the brochure. Placing the images and adding text was fun but also a little challenging because we had to figure out how to fit the information in without running out of room. Figuring out how the brochure was going to appear in the end was hard. We maid some mistakes and placed some picture in wrong spots, but we fixed it and replaced them. Also choosing the right text was difficult but we deicided to go with Times TT.

I am most proud of how we worked together as a team and how we solved the problems equally. I really liked how our lay out of the brochure came out and how well the final copy appeared. The pictures look really good and they go with the color scheme really well. I like how we have a lot of information on our topic but we also added information on the Bellagio Hotel because this is where the performance is held.

If I had more time I would go back and try to find better pictures and maybe a get a quote from someone that has seen the performance. I also would have done more research on the play its self and talk more about the different acts in the play. Overall I feel we did a great job and that it came out really good. I am very happy with the final copy of the project.
