This blog will document dialog outside the class discussions. This course places emphasis on the elements of graphic design and principles of visual organization for the purpose of communicating a message to a particular audience. The course explores shape, color, and communication; visual hierarchy; word/image relationships and integration; typography; symbol design; and visual rhetoric.

Printing Instructions
Here are the instructions for printing your layouts front and back.
First, make a PDF file with both of your pages (one should have the back and front, the other should be the 2 page spread). You can do this in InDesign, or you can combine multiple PDF's in Acrobat (just choose Combine -> Merge files into a single PDF). The way I did mine, the first page of the PDF had what was supposed to be the back page on the left side, and what was supposed to be front page on the right side. The second page in the PDF had the 2-page spread.
If your PDF is in this arrangement, you need to rotate the second page so it is printed out correctly. Open it up in Acrobat, go to the second page and choose Document -> Rotate Pages. and for Direction choose 180 Degrees. This will flip it the correct way.
Now go to File -> Properties and click on the Advanced Tab. You'll see a drop down next to DuplexMode. Choose Duplex Flip Long Edge (that worked for me).
Go to Page Setup, choose ADDM-7760GX as your printer and make it Tabloid size.
That should be it!

Pantone colors and font
The pantone colors are:
166 C
290 C
388 C
The font is 10 pt Univers. I think it's a font you need to activate with the type client.
better late than never

New version of 2 page spread
Trisha/the rest of the class:
Is this cool? what else can I add to it? I kind of gave up on my last idea. It wasn't turning out cool like I had promised.
