  • Art catalog c&c NSFW

    #1
    I was wondering if I could get some c&c on this draft for an art catalog. The idea is that every chapter (or collection) has it's own accent color and starts with a line drawing+introduction.

    I couldn't figure out how to embed the pdf, so view it here.

    Thanks guys!

    Disclaimer: Some of the text is lorem ipsum'd, some is Dutch. Either way, you probably can't read it. Which is probably better for crit purposes.

    edit: It only has some sample pages, nothing final or complete yet.

    It would be best to supply JPGs and embed them in the forum using the

    You would need to host the images somewhere and copy the link to the URL dialog box - somewhere like tinypic or imageshack or something.

    I don't think too many people would open the PDF from an "unknown source".

      Issuu.com is a pretty cool service though, hosts pdf's like tinypic does images. But I would upload it in images, if I knew a good way to export from InDesign. And I can't add the pdf as attachment here, cause it's way bigger than 19.5kb. I uploaded the pdf to my dropbox, which probably isn't any more trustworthy, but here you go.

          Found the problem, the colors looked all weird to me, but I was exporting to CMYK JPGs. RGB seems to work.

              I think the overall design looks pretty good. The multi-color lines are a little rough in places and could stand to be smoothed out, but other than that I like it.

                    Can't find the edit button anymore, was there a minute ago. Strange.

                              I kinda rolled into a graphic design position here at work, and I love it now. So I've been doing my best to learn on my own. Took a few short courses as well, but never had a formal education.

                              Anyhow, no. This will actually be printed and used.

                                Yes, I see the contrast can be improved, thanks. I will try some more styles too, perhaps more minimal, or using lines/outlines instead of shapes. Any comments on the style, if in fact there is a style...

                                The other images that were provided, luckily, had their own clipping paths so they were not an issue. I've used this process numerous times before (which is why it was frustrating when it didn't work!),...

                                The curvature continuity "smoothness" of the shoe shapes needs to be cleaned up.

                                The problem you're facing is one I face all the time. The easiest solution is to create a clipping path in photoshop. You haven't missed any steps, it all starts because transparencies and spot colours...

                                thanks for the comments. it sounds like using a full width header is a better option. no more comments please - i have taken down the logo from my host account. cheers!

                                - Kerning needs attention.

                                - Why have tiny illegible type especially with a big blank space at the bottom?
