Movable Type in Europe Project

By: Megan Huibregtse

This project was a lot harder than I expected. I’mnew to inDesign and I thought I knew my way aroundpretty well. Turns out, I don’t...I couldn’t figure out howto make letters red or any other color. It was very anger-inducing, I still don’t know how to do anything inInDesign, no matter how much I work with it in thisclass. But I made grids just fine. Unfortunately, theydidn’t turn out the way I wanted them to.The end product satisfied me, but apparently I willnot be getting a good grade on it because it’s not up topar with the other people in the class. I also know I willbe getting a low grade because I did something wrongwith the margins and it printed wrong. Even though Iwould’ve never been able to do things like this beforethis class, college doesn’t grade you on self improvement.I also have a physical probalem of cutting anddrawing straight lines. Everyone thinks I’m being funnyand won’t help me. It obviously shows in my end productsthat I’m not being funny. No matter how hard Iwork, it seems like I will not be passing this class. Thisproject was yet another indicator that I should not be inart.

(This is one of the 3 grids I chose to complete, I just don’t know how to put it with the others in InDesign)

(I can’t upload my rough drafts on this version of InDesign becuase it’s too old for the newer version I used to have)
