Sit and Stay - Newsletter design I did for class

NOTE: I guess it's showing the PDF rather than the preview image I put together... so scroll around and take a look at it!

The top left page is the back of the newsletter
The top right is the front
The bottom left is the inside-left

This is something I did for my Layout class recently. We had to choose a nonprofit organization and design a fake newsletter for them using their articles and other forms of research and relevant information in a creative way.

I did the no-kill animal adoption organization named Best Friends (bestfriends.org). We had to come up with an effective title for our newsletter, I came up with "Sit & Stay". It sounds relevant, it's easy to remember, and the idea behind it was you sit to read the newsletter and an animal stays with you (and feels at home) for the rest of their lives (AKA adoption).

The most fun I had was coming up with a design for the masthead (Sit & Stay) and designing the typography for Kitty Corner and Dog Tales (tales being a pun of tails, of course). Designing the infographics was also pretty fun (there is a mistake I caught in the bottom-left infographic though, do you see it?).

Anyway, I had quite a bit of fun with this! The process work was long and tedious though. And messing with bodies of text isn't all that exciting.
