Week 4

By 6PM today submit to me by email an iPad sized document pdf (can be portrait or landscape) containing:

Compulsory

  • A defined visual style in the form of sample layouts
  • The content of your publication (text, images, video, links, references)

Optional

  • The page plan (flat plan). This can be a photo of sketch
  • The grid
  • An example of typographic hierarchy
  • The navigation style
  • The cover as a sample layout

Give us as much as you have done. The more we have the better.

Best practices

  • Always use RGB (sRGB) images
  • Get the biggest images possible (pixel dimensions(
  • Tools will take care of sizing down images for non interactive content
  • If inserting pdfs use non-flattened PDF 1.4 or later to avoid unwanted white lines
  • Remember that a 6-pixel scroll bar crops the right edge of the article layout. Consider adding a guide or object on the master page to mark this area.
  • Using the right file structure from the begiinign will save you time — Adobe page

====

Components

By now you should have the following project components:

  • Content (text, images, video, links, references)
  • A page plan (flat plan)
  • A grid
  • A typographic hierarchy
  • Navigation style
  • A defined visual style

These components might not be complete (and may be in a state of flux) but you should be using them in your project.
