BYP-INTERN PORTFOLIO

The project was to create a National Geographic Variable Data Print using Data Merge utility (to make sure the InDesign file modified itself to each person in the database), a .csv database, and to make sure that the bleed was set in place since the printer cannot print all the way to the edge of the paper. Three 8.5"x11" National Geographic VDPs were printed front and back and later folded using the tri-folding method.

A business card design was created with a bleed (so there would be a smooth transition from one card to the other) and was placed on an InDesign imposed template where it was duplicated all the way to the bottom of the margins using the Step & Repeat method found in InDesign.

A VDP Bakery Coupon was created in InDesign and then later imposed in PREPS7 where it would also include a colorbar, text marks, trim marks, and side guides. Similar to the PREPS Booklet.

A 32-page booklet was imposed in PREPS7 on 22"x18" stock. The file was then modified to have a color bar, side guides, trim marks, text marks, and have teh binding style set to saddle stitch. The 8-page booklet went through a similar process, howerver, it was printed on 12"x18" tabloid oversized paper instead.

A poster created for the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation competition to help promote and motivate high school students to apply for their scholarship.

A personalized postcard was created to promote a graduation portrait service in InDesign. The image would alternate between a girl and a boy based off the person's gender in the database being used. The background would also alternate between white and black based off this as well. However, the choice of using gray font on a white background yielded in barely readable text and was an error in design. Placeholders were inserted where the person's name and address would show up; another design error was not bringing the black of the back design past the bleed which resulted in a white border in some areas around the post card.
