After a couple of delays the Philippine National Police - Criminal Investigation & Detection Group’s magazine is finally out! “The Quest” is published as part of the 55th Anniversary Celebrations of the PNP-CIDG.
This was a rather interesting project to work on as it is the first time I’ve made any publication that really didn’t have ‘real’ photos. Thank goodness for the Stck.Xchng! The challenge was how to create enough space for ‘artistic’ embellishments in the mostly text-heavy articles. Time constraints and other projects that coincided with it’s creation also kinda dampened my brain. Consequently, I’m not entirely happy with it design-wise as it normally takes me 3 to 4 revisions before I feel any sense of contentment - that point in the design process where you can no longer put anything in OR take anything out. In this case, I only had one… and on some pages, none at all.
Maryanne Moll, the project’s Editor and Manager, assures me everything is great and they (CIDG) are quite pleased with it.
I am really not sure.
Design skew is towards white, grunge font for that ‘urban’ look, and those bright yellow “Police Line” tapes as accent. Whole publication was made on three separate Macs running OS 9 to Leopard, InDesign CS & CS3, and a PC in the office for downloading a cascade of eMails.
