100 Points
Due Tuesday, 2/3 (UPDATED)

Class

• Create a  comparison of 2 “subjects” – something that is interesting to you.  Some kind of hobby, place, dream, or event.  I will project your 2 pages for all to see.
• Use Adobe InDesign to create a 2 page document. 
• Each page will contain an image, text, a title and a box with color. 
• The items must overlap in some way. 
• You must make the images on the pages link to somewhere on the internet (in this presentation)
• Both pages must have at least 5 pieces of information about that image.

Here are some examples of what you could choose to compare: video games, dance styles, foreign cities, music videos, architectural buildings, novels, cars, trucks, low rider bicycles, shoes, etc.

I compared 2 ways to go up and down the Grand Canyon...

Make yours even more personal and by all means play around with the layers and objects to even make more of a collage of images.

Exercise 6 - Sporting Event Ticket

Due 1/27

100 Points

Background

For this lesson you assemble two master pages and two page spread. The end product in this project is a pair of sample tickets, one for basketball and one for a motocross event.  They are the same in layout and style.  Only the event information, color and background image differ.  A strategic use of master pages eliminates all duplication of effort.  

If you want 5 points extra credit – make one or both of the tickets for your own event. 

If you want 10 points extra credit - make a ticket design for Superbowl XLIX

If you want 20 points extra credit - make a ticket design for Superbowl XLIX using Adobe Illustrator and come up with your own image design

Remember!  For all assignments, do not turn in the original file.  Save as a PDF so that it can be printed.  (If you use Illustrator, Save as a JPEG so that it is one big image.)
