I must use the same leading for all 4 pages, or aligning to baseline grid will not work.
I also have to Create 3 separate SINGLE-column text boxes; together they span 3 adjacent grid columns.
Description: I’m going to use the Avenir Next typeface, 9/11' justified. Also, Use a single column text box that spans 2 columns of the grid. First and third paragraphs are Roman. Middle paragraph is oblique, AND indented left and right
Description: 9/11' justified, AND negative leading. Text box has 1 column of text, and spans 2 grid columns. Separate paragraphs with a line space. Use 11' leading as usual for the body copy. Then duplicate the text box to be used a second time and choose exaggerated negative leading. Experiment with extreme negative leading, going even more extreme on each new page. leading that is less than the point size (ie: 9 point type with 3 points leading
Description: Copy a phrase from the text. Paste it into a separate text box; upsize it and ghost it to 20% black. Choose the size, weight, case, and posture. Place it for interest. On my 4 pages, experiment: different sizes, different weights, making it “invade” the body copy using text wrap, etc. Vary the layouts on all 4 pages.
Description: 9/11' justified*. Text box has 1 column of text, spanning 2 grid columns.Paragraph separation: see if the dingbat separates paragraphs. Create paragraph rules above and below. Rules can span the full width of the columns or not; can be black or gray, simple or decorative. Place a centered dingbat using a symbols font (for example Zaph dingbats, Webdings, Bodoni Ornaments, etc). vary dingbat picture, its size and placement.
Description: use the same typeface, UC; experiment with variations of weight, tracking, and size. Treat the title differently on each of my pages to see what works/does not work. Create a rule between the two columns using Command B > Column Rules; make it a .5 point rule (vary weight on other pages and compare them). On the 4 pages, vary the way my separate paragraphs (indent OR line space; not both). I also vary the number of grid columns the text box spans (2 or 3); experiment with different treatment of the vertical rule.
Description: In this assignment in class, the professor wanted me to create 10 business cards on adobe illustrator in an hour by using a grid to make it more organized and professional by its size and also its measurements.
Description: In this project, the professor wanted me to do a 2 Page Test Spread. The Left page is Person #1 and the right page is Person #2. The Specs are: 5.5 x 8.5" with facing pages, and 0.125" bleed. The idea is to experiment by trying out different typefaces, layouts and sidebar styles. The pages should include title, body copy, sidebar text, at least two typographic devices and images.
