Big update

Was playing around with designs in InDesign (first time using the program) and came up with the idea that the lower images I had created and posted in my previous blog was not very good with the colour scheme of the article. So I remade the top one and made the second one which will be shown below this post:

Update

Started finishing the article in publisher with the article actually typed up still need to make the bottom image for it the image uploaded on the previous post is the header image which yet still needs a picture of the client put onto it along with her name.

The bottom image is going to be pretty much the same but the opposite away around to sort of link them both together.

(Also found out how to unlock tables in word today)

Sketchs

Started sketching the bottom image of the article to use. Same as the other image but the opposite away around and maybe different colours still deciding.

Update

Working in photoshop testing different designs and combos with colour against grayscale images for effect with a gradient in the background tinting the image a shade of orange creating a sunset effect.
