Services & Staff Directory - Completed

Purpose: An updated document of the Internship & Career's Center Services & Staff Directory, meant to reflect a few additions, but mainly reductions. External document
Challenge: When seeing something so text heavy, my instinct was to make it in Microsoft Word. Not only am I recreating a lot of documents from scratch and saving them in InDesign (to make it easier for the future), but my supervisor really wants me to get used to the program. (This is difficult for someone who has only a few months of experience with this program...)
Application: Adobe InDesign (I will be using InDesign for quite a long time...)
New tools used: The tab alignment feature (Type>Tabs). Also! adding logos ( File > Place)

South Hall Map - Completed

Purpose: An updated layout of the Internship & Career Center to properly reflect the staff reduction. Internal document.
Challenge: Emphasis on structure and building it. Creativity is not a huge factor. Also, old document was created in a different program. Used last year's map as a guide, but I was pretty much making this from scratch in InDesign.
Application: Adobe InDesign
New tools used: I have never used those ruler thingies SO much in my life, especially for the stairs. Rotator tool. Grouping
New terms learned: Final proof

Birthday List - Completed

Purpose: The ICC has recently faced a staff reduction, so it was necessary to update the birthday list. Internal document.
Challenge: This project gave me the experience to try out Adobe InDesign for the very first time. Creating a document similar to this may be easy in Microsoft Word, but it's so different in this program. Also, creativity was key but colors were limited. Printing in color is highly discouraged due to budget cuts, but we made this the one exception.
Application: Adobe InDesign
New tools used: Everything in Adobe InDesign. Plus, learned how to incorporate ClipArt from Microsoft Word.
New terms learned: dominant entry point, gutter, bleeding.
