I don't know what was more frustrating about this assignment, how tedious and time consuming it was to adjust the tracking between words in the layout, or figuring out how to print it correctly. The tracking problem was frustrating because how how minuscule each adjustment was and I couldn't figure out which amount of space between each set of words looked best, and then, once I'd finally set the new tracking distances, I kept finding a new font or font size that I liked better, so then I'd have to go back and adjust all the tracking distances. However, once I finally realized that I could highlight a line of text and adjust the tracking between all of the words at once, that task got much easier. As far as the printing dilemma, once I went through the entire checklist of specifics (that we went over in class) to make sure the layout would print right, I made my first print attempt, and it turned out that one side of the spread was upside down. After some go...
Here's my finished product. It's not perfect, I didn't realize how much I screwed up the outline around the grill (an opacity/layers issue) until it was printed out and too late, but other than that glaring deformity I'd say it turned out pretty well. I spent at least 10 hours on this thing so I'm glad it'd done. If nothing else, it looks a lot better than I thought I could make it look so that's a plus.
Here's my perpetual bouncing ball that I made the week before spring break. Thank God for people showing how to do these on YouTube. No angst from Jacob.
