The most important part of the collection is the layout of the research page. The research page of the project is very important, with clear modules, and typesetting in the form of images, text, color blocks and Icon. During the application season, I saw the typesetting of many students and found many common problems that can be improved. Today, let's talk about tips to improve the typesetting quality~

It is very important to have good typography and touch up skills when making collections. Through effective typesetting and polishing of the collection, it can make the collection more attractive and readable, thus improving the quality and influence of the collection. Here are some steps that can help you improve the composition of your portfolio.

Inspiration creation method of works collection: how to combine the characteristics of painting and calligraphy?

　　 1、 Planning and organization

Before you start typesetting and polishing, you need to plan and organize the collection of works. Determine the type and number of works you want to show, and arrange them in a certain order. This helps to increase the overall structure and logic of the collection of works, making it easier for the audience to understand and appreciate.

　　 2、 Select the appropriate typesetting tool

Choosing the right typesetting tool is also an important step. At present, there are many powerful typesetting tools in the market, such as Adobe InDesign, Microsoft PowerPoint, etc. They provide a large number of rich typesetting function templates for you to choose from. Choose appropriate tools according to your needs and familiarity to help you better complete the composition of your portfolio.

　　 3、 Adjust Page Layout

Web page layout is an important part of typesetting. It is necessary to ensure the rationality of the design style and content layout of each page, as well as the overall visual balance. By adjusting the position, size and style of text and pictures, good results can be achieved. Keep the interface simple, avoid information overload, and facilitate the audience to read and understand.

Select the appropriate main color. We can select the appropriate main color according to the project output or project concept. For example, we use the black background as the theme of the Big Bang of Cosmic Information.

　　 4、 Pay attention to font and text style

The choice of font and text style is also the key to typesetting and polishing. Use one to three clear and readable fonts in the works, and keep consistency. Use bold, italic and other methods to highlight key information, but avoid excessive formatting to avoid affecting the overall visual effect. In addition, reasonable arrangement of paragraph and line spacing makes the text easier to read and improves the audience's reading experience.

Use grid for layout partition. Clearly show the information level of each part, and remove some unnecessary decorations to enhance the high-level sense of the picture.

　　 5、 Optimize pictures and illustrations

The pictures and illustrations in the work collection also need to be optimized. For photos, you can consider fine-tuning their color, contrast and brightness to achieve better visual effects. At the same time, optimize the quality and resolution of illustrations, ensure their clarity in the work set, and coordinate with other elements. In addition, pay attention to the alignment and spacing of pictures and text to make them neat and beautiful.

The effect of multi p image processing is not only that we need to carry out p image on the finished product and unify the color. For some research pictures, we should also choose multi matting or even processing pictures. In this way, during typesetting, we will make some collages to increase the sense of breathing

　　 6、 Add notes and notes

Again, the readability of the collection is very important. For each work, brief descriptions and notes should be added to explain your design concept and purpose. This will help the audience better understand your work and have a deeper understanding of its quality and creativity. Adding notes and notes is also one of the ways to show your professionalism and communication skills.

For font selection, we must choose sans serif when typesetting, and use simple words to convey information. At the same time, teachers in foreign colleges and universities like to see students' information visualization ability, so we should try our best to convert text information into picture information.

　　 7、 Use colors and graphics carefully

The use of color and graphics can play a role in highlighting the collection of works, but it should also be used carefully. Many students hardly did visualization, and there were problems with color selection and layout proportion, which made the page look flat without highlights, or even failed to catch the theme! Select one to three main colors and keep them consistent throughout the work set. Make sure that the contrast between the text and the background color is appropriate for easy reading. The use of graphics should be reasonable, highlighting the key points rather than excessive decoration. Through the rational use of color and graphics, the visual attractiveness and professionalism of the collection can be improved.

　　 8、 Check and modify

Finally, we must carefully check and modify the collection of works. Check whether the layout is consistent, the text is smooth, the spelling and grammar are correct, and so on. If conditions permit, it is better to ask others to review, so as to find possible errors and imperfections. Ensure the quality and integrity of your portfolio to enhance your professional image.

About typesetting and polishing: from color font size to data visualization, to collage to find picture materials and icons, we need to change a little! The layout of the research page is not the end of putting your things in place and setting a template.

　　 Summary:

Through the above steps, you can improve the quality and visual effect of composition and embellishment of your collection. A neat, beautiful and easy to read collection of works can help attract people's attention and better show your design level and creativity. Remember, typesetting and decoration is a process of continuous improvement and learning. We hope that you can constantly improve your skills and create an excellent collection of overseas art works.

During this period, you need to spend a lot of time combing your logic! Compact text! Adjust the scale! Find the picture! And drawing!
