Our assignment this time was to pick a quote, and then we would do something with it later on. So when 'later on' came, we were instructed to copy + paste or type the quote into the InDesign software and work on it. Which meant we were able to control where we want the words to be placed, which would cause an effect on how people read it. (If they took a pause, the rhythm of the way the quote is said, etc.) We were also able to change the colors of words. So in my design, i changed the font of the words I found important. The word "nonsense" is in a font that i thought was not serious, because if i picked a font that looked professional, it would not match the word correctly. I then made the word a brighter color since this word could mean "silly". And a lot of people see silly, as fun. On the second line, I made The words "wake up" in all caps because when you wake up, your brain is functioning fully again and is just like a big factory. Those words are in the color yellow, because of the sun. When you wake up in the morning, the sun is out. In the last line, I only have two words. Brain cells. The words are in black because it matched the font. I picked the font because it kind of reminds me of like robotic stuff, and codes to websites. Like when a website is created you have codes that control what it does, and the font is very similar, plus it's the only font like is closest to a website code. I figured since the brain is very advanced, and it controls your body the way codes control a website, the font suits the words pretty good. I think the process was very simple. The software is very easy to use, and it was probably the easiest assignments we've ever gotten. I like the way my final project looks because the quote is simple, and so is the design. Sometimes, you don't want something simple to look more extravagant then it really is.
