Final Project Brochure

The Brochure was probably my favorite project that we did all semester. For me, it was fun to choose a topic that interests me and make my dream version of what I would want the Brochure to look like. At this point I have become very familiar with the InDesign program which made this project fun to do, knowing your way around the program really speeds up the process and takes away a lot of the stress. I decided to do my brochure on a music festival called Camp Bisco hosted by a band named the Disco Biscuits that I attend every year. This really was exciting for me because I was able to use my skills with InDesign to really create what I would want the brochure to look like for this festival. I also was able to come up with my dream line up for the festival which was pretty cool too. This project highly inspired me to possibly continue my education in graphic design for things that I am interested in. Who knows maybe I will be designing the next Camp Bisco Music Festival brochure.
Like I stated before this was the project where I was most comfortable using the programs we have been using this semester, mainly Adobe InDesign. I struggled a lot this semester and even past one with classes that use computer programs that I am new to. It seems to be one of those topics, like math, that needs to be pounded over and over again in my head for it to stick and for me to remember. Another issue I had this semester, although small, was the use of Apple computers over regular p.c.'s. I have always used windows and computers that were not made by Apple, which in turn makes me a little foreign to the way the computer operates every time I sit down at one, simply because I seldom use them and am not used to them at all. That said, after the repetitious use of the Apple computer in this class as well as the programs I had never used before, I feel confident that I learned a decent amount of new information and can now use these things with more ability.
