I had only used indesign briefly before, and was therefore not very confident in using the program. However as I began to create the poster above, I realised that it is very much like Illustrator, as there are similar tools. This made the process of recreating the posters a lot easier, and my confidence with the use of indesign has improved. I am happy with the way the first poster turned out as I think that it is similar to the original.
The second poster also went well, and I believe that it is similar to the original with my own twist. In order to create this piece, I used rectangles and lines, however the way in which I placed them on the page when originally creating the piece was vertical and horizontal. I added the angle to the design after the different aspects had been placed.
I enjoyed creating these pieces, as I am a fan of Josef Müller-Brockmann, and think that his work is interesting. I intend to research more into him as an artist and may use him in future for inspiration on projects. I believe that the session went well in terms of using InDesign, and how to create a piece with the use of a grid. However personally, I would rather design with my creative eye than to a grid, as in my opinion the grid can restrict where things are placed in a design resulting in the final product being ridged and not as aesthetically pleasing as it could have been if the grid had not been used. For this specific exercise however, the grids worked well.
