![]() My second assignment in my Graphic Design 2 class at Morristown High School was to design a cover for the school's program of studies catalog. For the cover, we had to use collage techniques to achieve our final design. The school photos were provided to me by the teacher. The photos were professionally taken by school photographers. The first step I took when working on this project was to sketch many (about 7-10) text layouts. It was really hard to find a text layout that I really liked, some of the ones I sketched were okay, but I din't feel confident that any of them were actually that good. Another major aspect I had to consider when designing the text layout is that it also has to flow well with the pictures I had to collage later. After I chose a layout I was fairly confident in I went to Photoshop and placed the pictures and created my first draft. With this first draft, I was having trouble doing a picture layout that looked nice and fit the text design. After I failed to come up with a draft I really liked, I went back to Illustrator and started working on an entirely different text layout. After playing around with the text and colors for a while, I finally came up with a text design I was very confident in and really liked. I took the new text layout and moved it to inDesign where I began to work on the picture layout. The pictures were placed and had a solid layout, the rest was just making sure the pictures were properly aligned and none of them had been cropped or altered in any unusual way.
