Project 7 E-Newsletter

Designing this week called for an all night work session and a full pot of coffee. For our latest project, we had to create an e-newsletter. This is the first time I have designed a publication that’s sole purpose has been to be distributed on the web (excluding websites). The project was based on an earlier web design, so the designs have to be cohesive. It has been a challenge creating this project because designing for web is not something that I am very comfortable with yet. When designing the newsletter I continued working on using visual solutions that are not in my normal comfort zone. Instead of relying on the intuitiveness I usually use, I had to really think about the positioning of every element on the page. While the design may not be as solid as I would like, it has been another exercise in creative thinking.
