Experimenting with InDesign: Maria Grønlund


(http://www.mariagroenlund.com)

These are some initial documents using InDesign as I adjust to the software. I decided to present 5 graphic designers who I found interesting and present in a way which echoed their work. The task has helped me understand the basic tools of InDesign which will be the foundation for future, more advance projects.


I chose to include the work of graphic designer Maria Gronlund as I enjoy the floating, dreamy effect of her artwork. The tonal qualities of the piece award an atmosphere reflecting ink swirling in water. I also love the consistency of style and all work remains noticeably in the typical style of Gronlund's work.

I decided to create a document which had a simple background to focus attention to the beauty of Grønlund's swirls. I also added a simple outline around each photo to define, add more interest and to parallel with the grey box background in each piece. By creating this document it helped me improve my skill in creating outlines and adjusting thickness and colour.
