grduation speech booklet

In this final assignment, we were instructed to make a pamphlet for a graduation speech. We could only use two fonts, one being a font we designed. The pamphlet could only use black ink. This is the first time we designed with a document grid and a baseline grid. We added one pull-out quote.

This was a group project, so I had to collaborate with Mary Flores and Anna Davies on the design. We ended up concentrating mostly on layout. Margins were made thick because we didn’t want the reader’s thumbs hiding text while holding the book. We decided to use our display front sparingly. We set the title, the pull-out quote, and the first letter of the book in our student-made font, trying not to go overboard on the display face.
