In design Workshop

I N D E S I G N 

Today we learnt how to use the software Indesign. It was a little challenging to pick up but I found it useful and it made me think differently about the best ways to lay out my work for presentation. The keys point that I learnt from the session was that the scale of an image is very important. If you have a selection of images on a page, the larger images are the central ideas, any other smaller images are of things which have helped you to reach the key image (i.e. research/inspiration). Another key thought from the session was that where possible, it is important to use lines when presenting work. Invisible lines on a page make it easy for people to look at it. The lines need to be coherent and consistent through the document. White space should never be more focal than the images themselves. Additionally, when typing on a page with images, the type face should be light and not overpowering if the images are key. Simple or grey font is ideal.
