International Panorama Council Newsletter Redesign
Project Brief and Deliverables:  In my ARTD 444 Typographic Systems class, my professor assigned the class the task of redesigning the layout of a yearly newsletter for the International Panorama Council. While using fundamental typographic rules, the actual design of the newsletter itself was left to personal interpretation. For this project’s deliverables, there had to be a printed and digital version of my designs. Additionally, we were designing for the 47th issue of the newsletter and out of everyone in my class, my design was the one that the International Panorama Council board decided to use, which can be found here.

The Goal: I wanted to create a newsletter that really focused on showcasing the artist’s work utilizing full page pictures and keeping the text nicely organized.

What I Would do Different: There aren’t many things that I would change about this project aside from a couple of font choices or margin spacing, however the print version looks different than the digital one because of printing restrictions. 

Programs Used: Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

Design Process

As previously mentioned, there had to be a printed and a digital version of the newsletter I designed. In this version of the printed newsletter, we did not have all of the final photos and the text to go with them so it will differ from the final version that I have linked. 
Initially I wanted the print and digital version to look the exact same just to maintain the overall design, however the printers that I had access to at that time did not print images directly to the edge of the paper no matter how many times I tried. That prompted me to make two fairly distinct versions of the newsletter in which the digital one has the large, full page images and the print one has large margins on all sides of the page. I think the contrast between the two work, and if someone is physically holding the newsletter it gives them a spot to rest their thumb without covering the artwork.
