Magazine

I've always loved looking at whatever bizarre new stuff is headlining the world of fashion, so this idea really jumped out at me- it seems like such an obvious disconnect between product and consumer that I'm stunned the industry can make any money. I mean, look at that thing on my front cover- who would wear that?! But this isn't about my opinions on fashion, it's about my opinions on InDesign. Overall, I think I liked this program less than Photoshop or Illustrator, but I didn't exactly hate it. I think the hardest part was keeping the smaller text legible- a feat I'm not convinced I accomplished. But I'm glad to have learned what doesn't work now so that, should I need to in the future, I can use InDesign more competently and confidently.

Propaganda

I don't know why this uploaded all the extra space outside the page borders, but it provides a nice WIP look.

Net neutrality is a matter I feel very strongly about, so I immediately wanted to do a poster relative to it. And I feel that the constructivist Russian vibe really meshes with the tone of the piece- almost makes some extra suggestions about Russian hackers selling information. That's not directly linked, though- the poster's more about in-country service providers charging more for sites or streams that they know are more desirable. It's the most obvious attempt to change the law in the name of a sleazy cash grab, and I still can't believe it's passed. The idea of repealing net neutrality is distinctly un-American to me- so perhaps the Russian format is all too appropriate.
