Objectives
Find, scan and import a high-quality image. Create a fullbleed design, use text boxes for layout and insert and edit images in Word.

Process
I wanted the wanted poster to be an exact replica so I used backgrounds from the internet and saved those into the file for this project. I spent a good amount of time with removing the background from my picture and had it in a frame to represent the old western wanted posters. I used shapes and color to get the border at the top and to make the poster look like it had nails in it.

Objectives
Set up and align a two-sided, folded document, learn how to wrap text around an image and use paragraph styles in InDesign.

Process
I spent quite some time working with this. The first one that I had set up was a simple fold and then I decided to try something new so I set up the gate pallet and used the castle to look like it was opening up with the logo above. Inside I have a basic, yet artistic border and kept up with my color scheme. I wanted the outside to look fun enough for a child to spot and still nice, yet formal on the inside.

Process
After spending some time, sketching and re-designing, I looked at my first design and decided to change it. I wanted to make it more classy and something someone with money would want in their wallet. I liked keeping it to a race, so I added a checkered print on the background and did a half and half on the other, keeping the red, white and black.
