Information Overload...

I have spent a lot of time inputting all of the information for each student into the layout for the fashion yearbook. We are using InDesign, so the process is quite quick and simple, which is helpful.

The masters that were already set-up weren't quite right as the banner sat at a slight angle, which meant the information couldn't be centred within it very well. It was also slightly too thin, and the point size of the type had to be very small for it to fit with a suitable number of words per line. So, I have changed the banner width and made it fit into the document better. It now looks pretty good, and the information is fitting into the designated space well. We have had a couple of problems with long email addresses, but have had to accept that these run onto two lines.

This is what the layout now looks like:























Emma and Sara have been organising the head shots, editing them so that they are a suitable size for the document, and making sure they have a good colour balance when converted to greyscale. When we are all finished, we can bring the two together and import all of the head shots into the information document.
