Project 1: Point of Sale

  1. What did you learn? I learned how to create a menu in InDesign. The process included choosing my own fonts, colors, and overall theme.
  2. What was easy? It was easy to choose a color scheme and font for the menu.
  3. What was challenging? It was challenging to align all the menu options so they were even in every direction and were within margins.
  4. How could your submission be improved? The orange text color on the table tent came out brighter than I thought and was hard to read. If I were to do this project again I would have chose a different color. Also, the Miko logo was a little dark on the cover of my menu, I could have attempted to either find a different background or altered the color of the logo to be brighter.
  5. How could the professor improve the assignment? I wish there was more than one demo on printing. We were introduced to it early in the project, however when it came time to print I forgot which settings to adjust in order to get it right.
  6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I will use my new knowledge of InDesign in future assignments, now that I know more about the program.
  7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? This article gave me design ideas and helped me determine my final layout. Pinterest was also helpful in the design process.
