DIY Brochures

Aand welcome back! :D On Tuesday, we had another in-class activity. Designing a brochure layout within an hour. We were allowed to go outside of class to hunt for materials for our brochure. Having to work in pairs, I teamed up with Sam and went in search of random text materials to use for our brochure. Since we were undecided on what topic to use, we decided to look for materials first to have a clear picture of what we we could do with them. Our search brought us to the administrative office where there were TONS of brochures for visitors and students -it was a goldmine of materials! :D

Upon returning to class, we decided to go with the topic on food as we had alot of pictures of food and culinary students. It was to be a six-page brochure, because we thought it would look more brochure-ish that way.

Then we went on to cutting out articles to be used and various food pictures. It was all a whole lot easier to cut with the art knife (if i'm not mistaken, I think that's what it's called)

These are the completed pages of the brochure:

After that, everyone had to go up and present our works to the class.

Our colour theme was mainly red, yellow and white. It's important to have a colour theme or else the colours in the brochure would clash and make it seem all wrong. Everyone else had really interesting designs and I think I have a clearer picture on how to design a brochure after looking at everyone else's work. It was pretty amazing that some of them came up with professional looking ones as well. ;)
