- What did you learn? I learned how to design a menu for a restaurant as well as a table tent. I was a little rusty with InDesign so it was good to go over a lot of the features again such as paragraph character styles.
- What was easy? The easy part was after I created a paragraph style, I could just apply it to any of the text I wanted super quick.
- What was challenging? The challenging part of this project was coming up with a good design for the menu. I wanted to make something simple but creative which was a challenge. Also InDesign could be quite confusing at times as there is so many ways to do a single thing.
- How could your submission be improved? I think my submission could be improved by experimenting with different character styles as I did go for the safe option with Helvetica and Garamond. I also could add some more colors to make it stand out more.
- How could the professor improve the assignment? You could improve the assignment by teaching different ways to achieve goals in InDesign.
- How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? I now have a basic understanding of InDesign which I can expand upon with future projects. I also have knowledge that would allow me to design a menu for a restaurant.
- How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you? I was surfing the internet looking for inspiration when I found an Asian inspired colorway. I thought it would look pretty cool and go with the theme of the menu.
