Here is the front cover of the 24 page Roslindale Open Studios brochure that I produced. It is currently being printed at Park Press Printers, South Holland, IL, on 35# prime 80lb bright uncoated paper. Front cover design, ads, post cards, and posters are designed this year by another Roslindale Open Studios participant named Amy Joyce. See her web page for more info about Amy's artwork.
Using Adobe InDesign CS5, I designed/produced the remaining 23 pages which include; artist directories, advertisements, maps, and photographs of last years event. Also I have included a QR (quick response) code on the front cover so people with smart phones and mobile devices can scan to bring you directly to the Roslindale Open Studios web site to learn more about this years event.
In its seventh year, this event is the largest, with 111 artists exhibiting including; ceramics, textiles, paintings, photography, woodworking, jewelery, stained glass, sculpture, paper, printmaking, mixed media, collage, drawing, illustrations and graphic design in 45 different locations around Roslindale. So save the date: November 5 & 6, 11AM-5PM.
Don Woo at Park Press has this to say about my files submited.
"By the way, our prepress operators told me that your file was absolutely great...they wish all of our clients would send in files as perfect as yours!"
