This has been the most challenging assignment for me so far. I felt there was more possibilities to do with the other projects. I wanted the brochure to be creative, but still be simple enough for viewers to follow/ read taking away the necessary information from it. My partner and I used Adobe InDesign CS4 to complete the brochure. Once I figured out how to use the crop boxes it made working with inDesign very easy. The other issue was the images I placed into inDesign appeared pixilated, I was able to correct this by changing the images preferences from fastest loading to best quality.

Skateboards have this rebellious feel to them and longboards comes with a feeling of speed and the outdoors. We tried to merge these feelings with the brochure. Since the name of the company is Original skateboards and our focus being on their longboards. We used a peaceful woods background and added a image of an open road. We then used rebellious type fonts. I found the road was a nice touch because it connected all the inside panels nicely. The back panels were meant to be simpler since they provided necessary contact information.
