Design

April 12

Yay! I finally figured out the design. It took me awhile, but I think that the design that I have chosen is good.

The hardest part of the design was choosing something that would tie all five schools together. Every school has its own name, logo, and colors. Fortunately, I found out that each school’s logo has this starburst (or I believe that is what it is called) in their logo. So, I decided to use this star throughout the design. I used it on the title page of each section and in the header of all the pages. It adds a little color to it and carries the company logo throughout.

Then, after deciding to do that, I came up with a heading that has the section heading. I also added a footer with the page number. After coming up with that, I decided to use blue as the primary color. I figured that blue was professional. I used two different colors of blue: a dark blue and a lighter blue. I used the dark blue for the section title pages and for level one headings throughout the manual. I used the lighter shade of blue for level two and level three headings.

I also used a line under the level one headings. I made the level two and level three headings different sizes. There are parts throughout the manual that are scripts that the Admissions Reps say during a phone call or an interview. I decided that these parts needed to be highlighted. So, I put them in the lighter blue, italicized them, and finally put a line on the top and the bottom of the section.

Overall, I think that the design that I have come up with works. It looks nice, but is also professional. Hopefully, my supervisor will agree.
