C H A O S
Throughout this project I have learnt that making a booklet was actually a far harder task than I imagined. It took me much longer than I thought and I found it such a struggle. I began by using Microsoft word and realised that I just wasn't going to get the results I wanted and so I tried my luck at Indesign. I think overall I must have tried the layout at least five different ways. I then went into a tutorial with Sharon and explained to her the difficulty I was having. I was pleased to hear it wasn't just me who found it so hard to use a screen in order to design. She advised me to print everything I wanted in my booklet, cut all of the images up and play around with the layout on a table like I normally would. This was actually a very helpful process.
After I had reconstructed my pages yet again, I encountered a new problem. Some of the photographs were blurry and I had to go back and change all of the dpi on photoshop. This was a lengthy task which I will know how to do for next time. I also found that being selective over what to put in the booklet was one of the hardest parts of designing it. After I had made a final draft for my booklet, I then had to source paper and learn how to use the inkjet printers.
Producing the booklet was such a challenge, I worked closely with Dacia and Lucy to produce visualisations for my work, and we each helped each other to use Indesign, Word and Photoshop. Overall my booklet has taken me around 5 days to produce.
