Doodle #2 - DM8 paintball gun

As you can all tell by now I'm a big paintball fan. So for this doodle I decided to make a mock advertisement for the Dye DM8 (the gun I own, they have DM9's now). Anyway, First I used a bit of Photoshop to mask out the background the gun was originally set on. From there I found a cool textured background and a font I believe is called "defused". The actual logo of the company is used in the bottom left corner, and I used a font called "porcelain" which i used for the word accuracy. I also put a gradient on the texture BG to add a little depth. I wanted to make it seem like this ad was part of a series, with this one being "accuracy". I really like how this one turned out.

Multipage Project

For this project I wanted to go the route of simplicity and readability. I used only one main color, and straightforward text layout. MiraCosta serves a Coastal community and I wanted to show that very clearly in the design, even though countless MiraCosta schedules already do this. I used one sort of fancy font for the title, and then another for the main headers and I used Century Gothic for the content text. I really enjoyed this project, despite it being incredibly frustrating to really fully learn and understand how to use pages/sections/etc. Working with large amounts of text is actually more of a struggle than it would seem. InDesign did make the layout realtively painless though, and I learned more from this project than any of the others. Below is my work, hope people like it:
