About the brand "Bliss Beauty"

In the fast-paced modern society, people's lives are often filled with busy work and family chores, leaving them with little time to really care about their skin condition. "Bliss Beauty" was born in this context.

Margins & Layouts

In the beginning, I explored several layouts with different numbers of columns, trying to find the one that would work best with my brand.I always go with a 2.5cm margin as this is what I feel works best after trial and error.For my columns, I tried five and six because I wanted to better explore how my font would look in different numbers of columns.

Ultimately I decided to go with a six-column grid system, which would also make my brand guidelines more refined and uncluttered.

REFLECTION

Experience

I gained a lot of knowledge and improved my InDesign memory. I had to follow various tutorials before I could turn my book into an interactive e-book, even though understanding InDesign is not that hard. I tried setting the display resolution to the highest setting before I figured out the solution since I discovered a lot of minor bugs and even had some issues while exporting because my original images were consistently blurry.

Observation

I got to know Indesign again. At first, I thought this software only supported the typesetting of text as a book. During this semester, I realized that I could also add animation to the e-book, even though I did not use this feature this semester.

Discovery

In order to ensure that the buttons link to the correct page and that there are no clicking issues, I felt it was crucial to carefully inspect them before exporting the file. I have to utilize these buttons extremely carefully. Combining the information from other courses to finish this one was a really fascinating experience.
