TO DO

Digital Booklet project

1. Continue thorough research and gather materials: history, typography information and images
Save text to Word doc., dropbox submission
2. Start working on thumbnail sketches for all pages (you will continue in class on Wed)

Working process example
Although it is an example of the work on a poster project (not digital brochure), it is still a very good guideline of how to work on any project

2. Digital Booklet Design: Layout, Typography, Legibility and Best Practices

• Design for Digital Flow: Treat the booklet as an interactive interface rather than a static document. Avoid cramped print spreads; instead, use  grids and clear rhythm.
• Screen Orientation: in our case it is landscape for desktop screens
• Font Sizing: Use large, readable fonts—ideally size 30+ for primary headings and size 16+ for body text
• Typeface Limits: Stick to a maximum of 2 to 3 fonts across the entire publication to maintain a clean visual hierarchy. Typeface choice for headlines depends on your chosen art style, but for the body copy – legible font ONLY.
• Column Structure: Keep text constrained to 1 or 2 columns maximum
• Generous Margins: Retain consistent, open white space around text and elements so pages never feel congested.
• High-Resolution Assets: Use good quality imagery, scaled appropriately.

Note about graphics and images:
While working in InDesign, keep linked images in one folder
Video Linked vs Embedded Images (3 min)

3. Work in class:
1. If you already decided about the movement and did the research, then continue gathering materials:
- History of the movement,
- History of the typefaces,
- Information about a famous artists associated with your chosen style and an example of their work.
(Dropbox submission)
2. Start working on sketches:
Make accurate sketches for booklet cover and all pages; not less than 2 sets with different ideas/design/layout.
(We will discuss and choose one for the project; this semester we do not have time for the roughs)
Sketch size is not smaller than size 4x3 inches; keep proportions (use rulers)
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3 This one is not too accurate, but shows layout varieties
