Project 3 Setup

June 29, 2010

I had an email question about how to setup Project 3 regarding sizing and spacing. First and foremost, you need to do what’s right for your particular project, in order to highlight the forms you’ve created for the project. Presentation is part of the job!

However, I prepared this diagram to assist those that may be somewhat mathematically challenged or otherwise unsure.

The black area is your presentation matboard. The white area is your trimmed page printout. The small squares represent where you might place your “type things” on your 8×8-inch page. You should make this layout in Illustrator so that your arrangement can be printed all in one (then trimmed and mounted).

Be sure to use your palettes! Especially the Align palette and the Info palette. You can (and should) space and align objects perfectly.
