Experimenting with InDesign: Violaine & Jeremy

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 advanced projects.

VIOLAINE & JEREMY: 

(http://violaineetjeremy.fr)

I chose to include the work of French graphic designers Violaine and Jeremy as I love to the attention to detail created through lines adding tone and depth. This overall makes the piece seem more realistic and three dimensional. I also love the use of nature (although they do include other subjects in their work.

I decided to focus on the animal illustrations of Volaine and Jeremy as these are my particular favourites; I love how realistic the texture of the fur and feathers are. I also feel the subjects have been illustrated with detail and have fulfilled their full potential as interesting pieces. I included the pieces 'le gorilla', 'le coq' and 'l'ours'. I displayed this in a simple format with the Violaine & Jeremy logo which includes typography fitting to the graphic design style. By keeping a simple layout, it allowed me to create an extravagant detailed background which I felt would echo the detailed style of the work. For this I included the foliage illustrations such as 'Jungle Pattern', alternating in colour and black and white; I feel the colour of 'Jungle Pattern' encourages the focus to the black lines of the detail in the foreground. This document helped me to understand the use of sending back and bringing forward images to create the right composition and I am now thoroughly capable of doing this.
