2. Things I learned:
I learned a lot with this particular project. For one, my design
before this was not very professional and had an awful color
scheme. After many critiques, I cleaned up the flyer and design
and made it much more professional. I used a high quality image
of the Grand Canyon as my backround image. One thing I found
challenging in this project was creating a logo. If I could change
anything I would change my logo design to better incorporate the
texture of the canyon.
Programs Used:
For this project I used primarily Adobe InDesign. InDesign is ideal
for creating any kind of advertisement or flyer.
Project Overview:
The idea of the project was to create a flyer for any national
park in the United States. I happen to choose one of the most
popular spots, the Grand Canyon. We had to include two pic-
tures aside from the pictures of the actual park.
Fonts
I used a script font for the upper header, and sans serif for the
main body fonts
Color Scheme
For this color scheme, I used complementary orange and blue

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is one of
the great seven wonders of the
world. The Grand Canyon is
located in Arizona and is carved
by the Colorado River. Popular
activities at the Grand Canyon
include; hiking, helicopter and
plane tours, and rafting.
The Grand Canyon stretches 277
miles in length, and over 18 miles in
width. Some ancient marine fossils
found at the Grand Canyon date
back to around 1.2 billion years
ago. Supai Village is located at the
base of the Grand Canyon for some
more tourist sight seeing.

Color Scheme
I went for a monochromatic purple for this color scheme
Programs Used:
I used microsoft word for this particular assignment
Things I learned:
Things I learned: Through creating this flyer, it opened my eyes
that professsional level flyers are very difficult to make. It was
hard finding an image that I liked that still fit well with what i was
going for, and still went along with the color scheme. The one im-
portant thing I took away from this is that you shouldnt be afraid
to turn a flyer horizontal. I managed to get a lot more space on my
picture by fliping it.

a simple font.

Color Scheme
I did not choose a specific color scheme for this, the colors are
random
Things I learned:
Suprisingly this project opened up my eyes to how awful I was
with typography. I learned that decorative and script fonts really
dont go well together. I couldve done a lot to improve this project.
I think If I chose more sans serif fonts it would look a lot better
Programs Used:
I used Adobe InDesign for this project.
Project Overview:
This is the very first project we did in class. The idea of the
project was to create four different quadrants with 4 different
variations of typography.
