Lab #10 Yearbook Booklet Reflection Journal

Brian Velazquez                             Yearbook Booklet                                                                        3/16/17

  In this lab what we completed was making a draft booklet for practice to help us with the yearbook project we are doing in school right now. The objective of the lab was to show us how to number our pages on the year and how our booklets will look like so we know we did it right. I completed this lab by using InDesign and making 4 spreads which is equal to 8 pages. After making the pages I numbered them by going to type then markers and by using the text type tool I labeled all my pages 1-8. After numbering I then wrote something down on each page as the teacher told me to do like putting a shape and my name on most pages. Lastly I was finished so I printed it.


     The software I used was the InDesign software it helped me finish my lab. This is relevant to web design because in the future I may need to create more booklets with numbering with these skills I now know how. I see myself using these skills in the future for any future businesses I may be in or my own business I can use these skills to help me. To the side you can see how one of the booklet pages look like.

Lab #9 Reflection Journal

Brian Velazquez                                  Animated Brochure                                                        3/16/17


   In this lab it's more of a continuation of project #5 but in the lab we needed to animate our brochure so it can be able to do very cool stuff when you look at it. The objective of the lab was to teach us how to animate our brochures so we can learn how to use animations maybe for even other projects as well. I completed this lab by using InDesign I used this software to open up my brochure after I opened my project I went to animations on the menu bar  I had to look for it but when I found it I opened it up. In the menu I chose the animations I wanted to add then I placed the animations on where I wanted them to be on. Then after I turned it in.


    The software I used for this lab was InDesign it enabled me to animate my brochure itself. This lab is relevant to Web Design because when I make my own website I can make it look better and more unique rather then just have it being plain and do nothing. I see myself using these skills in the future when I making things for companies I work for or just for myself this is how I see myself using these skills in the future.Since in this lab I used my brochure I used the same photos although the animations cannot be shown.

     In this project what we did was create our own brochures about Respect for all week topics. Some of these topics were. Woman's Rights, Animal Abuse, LGBTS Rights and others. The topic I chose to base my brochure on was animal abuse. I chose this topic because I find it rather serious that pets are being abused from the owners they have, pets should only be treated with love and respect rather than hate and anger. The objective of this lab was to teach how to make our first brochure's so we can use the things we learned from the lab for the future. I completed this project by first making a draft to use as a template for the final copy. After creating the draft I then went to the internet to search for pictures that relate to animal abuse I also looked for research for animal abuse to use in my brochure. After this in InDesign I completed my layout added my pictures and wrote my text and feelings toward animal abuse.

    The software I used to complete this lab was InDesign it allowed me to make my booklet with all the necessary things it needs. This is relevant to web design because it helps me improve my skills as a web designer. I can use the skills from the project to help promote a company I work for or even my own company. Below is a picture of the finished brochure
