Lauren's Life in a Nutshell

      Yikes, so these didn't turn out great. I wasn't sure how to get the colored logos from the work I'd already submitted onto the document so I cropped them from the image on my blog and placed them in frames. They look a lot better as JPEGs on this blog than they did in InDesign which is a relief.                    Unfortunately on the last two you can see where I cropped it out of the image from a previous assignment. If it weren't for the lines on the image, I think it would be a good design. I did different shapes for each background to make them all unique. The fake number 42-42-564 comes from the show Soul Eater (it's the number they write on mirrors to call Lord Death) and the website is actually my Tumblr blog URL. You can follow me if you want, haha.

      We're finished with Photoshop and moving onto InDesign.     InDesign is a program used for storing and organizing compositions. All images need to be in CMYK instead of RGB because the former is for print instead of computer screens. Images need to be in 300DPI so that they're not pixelated when in print. In this video he creates a folder with lots of files in it.     Unlike the other Adobe programs, this one has pages. Putting something on the master page will put it on every single page. You can add something called a gutter but I don't know what that is just yet. The guy in the tutorial is using something called a frame and you can put an image in it. You can limit text boxes into the frames as well/
