For the bind-in/blow-in cards, I did two in Quark (the bottom 2) and 1 in InDesign (the top-most one). I prefer Quark to InDesign because it is a simpler program with less options. In my opinion, it was easier to work with Quark because commands and effects were easier to find and use. My only issue with Quark was that when I printed, the highlighted yellow part on the price did not show up. I did not understand why this happened.

The hardest part of this project for me was the black and white side of the card. The lines were tedious to make, and I had difficulty creating a straight line and getting the widths just right. In contrast, the easiest aspect of these cards was finding the fonts and image. I had no difficulty finding near-perfect fonts to match the actual card.

I worked really hard on these cards and am happy with the result. I looked at this project as a challenge, and I am glad that I was able to complete it with a pretty good outcome. If given more time, I would have spent it making the measurements more precise and the lines straighter. I feel as though there are an endless amount of adjustments I could make with the bind-in/blow-in cards.
