Assignment 2 Letterhead

I decided to keep it simple with the log on the top left corner with a line drawing towards the information that was in right alignment. I topped it off with a shadded logo in the middle

Assignment 2 Newsletter

What I did with this is that I made the Newsletter real big to show that is what this is and with the subtitle under is in left align and the byline in right align. I also made the picture even with the column that way it looks alot smother

Assignment 2 Autobiography

What I tried to do is make my name really big so that would be the first thing you look at and I used the picture of earth to also point down to it. I then used the left align on the words on the left and used the right align on the words on the right.

Assignment 2 birthday

What I thought was good about this is I used a big left align for the top left and used the grafetti going down to the important info in right align.

This would be the cover of my autobiography. The spilt milk is centered with the "l" looking like it was poured out of the glass. My name is right aligned to contrast author from title. The title and subtitle are aligned together.

This one is a bit difficult to see because the letterhead is white on this white background. I chose a picture of yarn and centered it on the top with the name and slogan of the business right aligned into it and the name of the owner and instructors left aligned. I put the address and phone number of the business in the bottom right hand corner so it's still accessible but doesn't take away from the top.

I know the book said not to use Helvetica but I chose it because that is the type of font used throughout the Diorama. The name of the newsletter is left aligned to the picture and is bolder than the rest of the information. The date and issue number are right aligned. I chose to do a sidebar to list the contents, briefs and the staff. For the articles I left aligned and broke them into two columns. I also made the first letter stand out. For the second article I chose to text wrap the picture of a hotel in Orlando.

Leonardo and Rachel are classy, simple people so I figured their invitation should match. All the important information is aligned to the right, hitting the white line. The RSVP is more of an afterthought so I chose to separate it and place it left aligned.

Menu/Grocery List






With the menu, I just did it simple. I chose the Lucinda Sans and Lucinda Handwriting fonts. I thought it would be fun to mix it up a bit, also I  did not want to overdo the design with too much decor or graphics. 

Grocery List: I had designed different boxes for each category I had tried to put the check box as an option, but I could not figure out how to do it. I used the American Typewriter font, simply because it looks very vintage and if I ever organize a grocery list in the future I would probably use the same design and font I had used on this project.

grocery list

Assignment 1 ht







Menu: I used differing font sizes to note the importance of each thing in the menu:
headings>entres/drinks>description
Grocery List: Since grocery lists are typically simple, i tried to keep it that way, I underlined the aisles that I'd go to for the items and listed them accordingly.
Business card: I used proximity where my name was the largest and most important, then contact info, then catchy quote about the business.
Student media: I centered each day, made the events bold and italicized the sun headings

Business Card


My business card is an example of the format that is used by the Alpha Delta Pi Delegates and Traveling Chapter Consultants. I used the Logo to help one associate my position within the sorority. My name appears in BOLD print because it helps stand it apart from the other contact information.
