Presenting Own Design Outcomes

For my portfolio, I wanted to follow a sort of simplistic and modern style, with an appropriate colour palette

I really admire the style and layout of this portfolio, it's very clean, sharp and stylish. It has a nice spacing between everything on the page

I really like the style of this layout, it has a simplistic and modern feel to it. I like the large logo centred on the page, and I like the way the image design has been laid out and designed.

Using Media Safely to Produce Graphic Image Outcomes

Portfolio Prepping

I learnt how to create a presentable setup in InDesign

Using effects to add to things such as text, images and other objects. Creating buttons that will allow you to proceed through several pages, and also a button to skip directly to the first or last page.

Here I learnt how to make a button including roll over features. A button can be applied to any object, text or even images, by selecting the button tab I can add a roll over effect, this is, to put it simply a separate copy of the same selection which can then be edited, for example changing the colour slightly to a lighter or darker down, now when the cursor highlights the button, the object will change to it's roll over edit. Another option can be selected "click" which does the same as roll over but instead only takes effect when the object is clicked.

Here I experimented with adding various different images to different pages along with the button selections, by adding functions to each of the buttons, they can act according to their symbol, for example the right symbol would take you to the next page and the last symbol would go straight to the last page.

Today I learnt how to embed videos onto an InDesign document.

A very simple process of bring a video file on the document and adding buttons with animations that will allow you to add buttons to start the video once the button has been clicked, and the button to fade out.
