Design Thoughts:
This flyer was designed to advertise a Spring registration deadline. It needed to be clear and easy to read, so I decided to keep the design minimal. I wanted the flyer to be associated with Utah State University, so I chose a well known logo used by the University and added the appropriate information.
Contrast: There is not a lot of contrast in this flyer other than the navy blue and white colors. I also made the date bold so that it would stand out more than the rest of the text.
Repetition: The two colors, navy blue and white, are repeated throughout the flyer. The font is also repeated throughout the flyer. I tried to select a font that was similar to the U State font in the logo.
Alignment: I used the shape tool to create a shape and aligned all the information within the shape. I also used the rule of thirds to align the logo and the information about the tuition deadline. I also skewed and warped "Spring Semester" in order to align it with the curves of the shape.
Proximity: The shape helped with proximity in this design. All the pertinent information is located within the shape, close together. While the less pertinent information is located in the white space.
