How to typeset works for studying abroad?

For the typesetting style of the portfolio, there is a detailed introduction in the early art articles, so what problems will we encounter in the typesetting process and how to control the typesetting details of the portfolio?

Students will begin to enter the typesetting stage after completing all the design projects in the homework set. In addition to the arrangement of project content, there are actually details such as cover, back cover, catalogue and introduction page that need to be carefully considered by students. Generally speaking, these three books, together with students' works, can be regarded as a complete collection of works.

The catalogue of the portfolio will generally show the project order of the students' entire portfolio, including the main title and subtitle, and optionally add design such as production time, page number and project logo; The introduction page can optionally include preface, project photos, and introduce your own design concept.

First, the type of plain text,

In other words, only the font, thickness, italics, size and caret symbols are used for simple design, so that the portfolio presents a cleaner and clearer feeling in front of the examiner.

Second, the logo style

Design a logo for each project in your portfolio, which is suitable for students with sufficient time and ability. This form of expression can reflect the students' design ideas, so that the examiner can leave the first impression of the students' design ideas at the beginning of judging the works, and the examiner will deepen the impression of each project when browsing the next works.

Logo display is not so easy. First of all, students should clearly extract the core of each project, match each project with a Logo that can abstract the design concept, vividly express their design ideas, leave a deep impression on the professor and show their abstract expression ability.

Third, the map type.

The design methods of illustrated introduction page and directory page are various, which are mainly divided into the following two categories:

1. Core Thought Course

The core creative works test the design level of students' works. Students can abstract a graphic design according to the core ideas of the whole series, or find objects that can be metaphorical or metonymic to reflect the design ideas.

2. Project mapping class

The project graphics class often chooses a rendering or concept map as a graphic from a good work or project. This graphic can reflect the design concept of students' whole portfolio, and it is accompanied by a preface description to help professors understand the design core of the whole portfolio.

Final term: These are some expressions that students can use when designing introduction pages and catalogs. In the early stage of portfolio typesetting design, students first think about what information needs to be added and what content they want to convey to the examiner, and then choose the text, typesetting, pictures or Logo of the design catalogue.

Many students tend to ignore the typesetting requirements of basic works such as catalogues and introduction pages, and think that as long as they look good. In fact, in addition to aesthetic considerations, these designs are more important to teach all projects the first impression, the ability to integrate information and the ability to abstract concepts. Therefore, everyone must optimize these details to the best visual effect in typesetting.
