Jordan’s send off by InDesign
Last week we decided to design a funky login guide rather than using the boring “Times New Roman” font we thought we’d mix it up! Using InDesign we started out with just four plain, ordinary sections of text which slowly transformed into something special. Through manipulating different fonts, changing the size, spacing, orientation then adding colour and a dotted border we created what looked something like a logo at first which then evolved into a pseudo football or rocket looking design.
Paying close attention to integrating all the visual elements together, finessing the spacing and making sure all related text aligned visually and most importantly assuring we didn’t get too carried away and make something stylish but illegible…it’s hard to find the balance between function and form. The final result turned out quite well and was ready for laminating…possibly becoming mouse pads.
