Objective: You will design a 2-page layout of an artist’s biography. Demonstrate your knowledge of InDesign by creating a well-designed layout using the following elements: Images and text.

What to do:
1)	Research an artist’s biography and portfolio (use the artist name on your computerhe artist cannot be a contemporary artist without permission from the instructor.
2)	Learn the design style of that artist
3)	Gather all the content you may want to use and more and more and more and then gather content you may not want to use. Get the best printed materials of the artist

Thoughts: Your two page layout must work as a single page as well as a spread. As the designer of the layout, you should be intimately familiar with the artist. Internalize the style of your chosen artist and create a layout that communicates the artist’s artwork, lifestyle, era of life, historical event surrounding artist, etc. We should be able to understand the artist by first looking at the layout before reading it. Your layout should not use more than 3 different font (usage of no more than 2 fonts is recommended).
