lesson 17 reflection.

Blake Brewer

This is the brochure i choose to write my reflection on. It is a full color, tri-fold brochure. Overall i like this brochure, the graphics show employees willing to work with their patients. i also like the red, white,and blue which is patriotic. However i wish they actually wrote how they help people. All it list is a 4-man contact list. Good visuals bad written information.

Also i think my indesign composite turned out very well

I have to say personally im not a very big fan of illustrator. I like the fact that i can create my own art in illustrator but i am more fond of using pre-made pictures to design and edit. Part of the problem is im not very creative on the fly, i need time to create and in this class that is something we lack. I'm still working on lesson 12 and 13 so i cant really comment on those until they're complete. Overall i like illustrator but to a certain degree
