I created a document the same size in which the brief outlines and decided to use a 7 column grid. I took various photos of Flanagan as I was still unsure as to how the image will be used. I cut the subject from the background and experimented with different backgrounds, similar to the designs found here. Due to his character, I wanted to make the design light hearted and for the most part, humorous, hence the 'inside the mind of...' title and the slightly hidden imagery.
Despite a lack of organisation, I really enjoyed this brief, especially experimenting with primary sourced photographic imagery and text using InDesign. Although I used the program during my last course, I was able to develop my skills even more through the software workshop and simply through experimentation and manipulation. Although the context aspect was evident - through thorough research etc, I wish I looked at more possible design outcomes though this is probably due to the lack of initial designs.
Final design - However, when it came to printing there were a couple of transparency issues - even when exported as a print ready pdf. To rectify this, I had to print in black and white and although this wasn't what I had in mind, I was happy with the outcome nonetheless.
