For the brochure assignment, Kyle and I chose to do Bristol House of Pizza. Bristol House is a local restaurant that we both order take-out from on a regular basis. The restaurant's actual brochure is very plain, so we decided to create our own brochure for the best pizza place in Bristol. The ultimate goal was to create something that caught the eye of possible customers.
The most challenging part of this assignment was the program. For me, InDesign is not "user friendly" and was difficult to adjust to. Everything I wanted to do seemed more difficult to accomplish on this program. Adding a gradient, for example, required a bit of experimenting and trials to finally get the desired colors and effect.
Overall, I am very happy with the way the brochure came out. It is very crisp, clean and the end result fulfills its purpose of being a take-out menu. The colors work well together, and you definitely understand that it is an Italian restaurant/pizza place. I especially like the drop shadow on the photos. Something about this effect is really pleasing to the eye and adds a little extra something.
If Kyle and I had had more time to work on this project, I probably would have wanted to try different font combinations and worked with placement of menu items and photos. It is always fun to try different things because you never know what might turn into something cool.
