Bibi card

This project was to recreate a blow out card that we had assigned to us in class. My Blow out card was for the Rhode Island Monthy subscription. At first I did not think I knew enough about the program to recreate such a complex mail in card. I started off by measuring every angle and space between each line, but I measured in cm so I had to convert everything into inches in order to use the measurements on quark express. After I finished the entire thing I realized that it was way too big and took up an entire page, despite the fact that it looked pretty small on the screen. I had to resize it to look like the real blow in card, but the program wouldn't let me make it as small as I needed it to be. I had to open up a new document on quark and drag in everything I had done and make it smaller, piece by piece.

I struggled with making the small barcode at the lower right corner of the back of the card. It was extremely difficult to line them up and space them apart in the right way. I spent more time trying to get that part right than any other part of the card.

I am most proud of the front of the card because it took me so long and so many attempts before I got it right. I tend to be a perfectionist with things, and I wanted to get my card to look exactly alike the original. I struggled a lot with matching the font exactly. I am most proud of the way the whole thing came out.

If I had more time I would have definitely spent more time fixing the bar code at the right lower corner of the back of the card. I would have tried to fix the lines to make them exactly like the original.
