Project 1: Menu and Table Tent

  • What did you learn?

In this project I learned how to create die strikes and image bleeds in order to optimize projects for print.

  • What was easy?

The easy part of this project was organizing the type for the menu and table tent in Adobe InDesign.

  • What was challenging?

The challenging aspect of this project was understanding how the digital design would translate when printed.

  • How could your submission be improved?

My submission could have been improved if there was less empty space on the inner right side of the menu. I also feel that some of the images could have been larger.

  • How can the professor improve the assignment in the future?

I think the assignment could be improved by making the table tent and menu two separate assignments.

  • How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments?

By doing this assignment, I have learned a lot about creating designs for the purpose of print. This knowledge will definitely be helpful for when I have to create future projects for print.
