brochure



For this project, I wanted to balance the amount of text with pictures. It was hard, since the business I did was the shade business, and there is a lot of information people need in order to pick out the right shade for them. I used a specific shade series called "Double Honeycomb shades" and picked out the pictures necessary in order to appropriately explain the features of the shade. I also included a tear out discount mail in form, which could be used as a promotion tool.
I found it really difficult in the beginning,when trying to determine what to include on the brochure. At first I was planning on advertising the company "North Solar Screen" but there was too much I would have needed to include that it would have been too much. I decided to narrow it down and get really specific. I had trouble get a background picture that was appropriate.
I am most proud of the back side and the tear out advertisement I created. At first I did not know how I was going to get the font to go vertically on quark express. I finally figured it out through trial and error and I was proud of the overall image of the brochure.

Website













For this project I was hoping to make a realistic looking web site that got straight to the point of what the business is all about. I made four pages, including a home page, an about us page, contact us, and a products page. They all shared the same basic idea including the top margin
which stated the name of the business.

At first I struggled with what I wanted my web site to look like. I had extremely colorful background at first, I realized it was too much and it took away from the writing of the products. There was too much going on, on the page. I decided to have a plain white background but added different pictures and a bright blue slogan.

I am most proud of the realistic qualitity that my website came looking like. I feel like it looks pretty professional and has all of the necessary information to be considered a real website. I am also proud of the credit logo and facebook invitation that I was able to recreate in my website. I feel that this gives more of an
authentic look.

If I had more time I would have added more pages and more links because I really enjoyed making this website. On my homepage I added a lot of links that would give out more information and I enjoyed the process.
