RMRC Webinar Flyer

While I object to the term “webinar,” this was a fun project, mostly because Jeff challenged me to do better than FHWA’s big black oval design.  Not hard! So, a few things…

I used a layer mask on the road image.  After sizing and cropping it, I made a copy and fiddled with duotones until I got something I liked.  Then I changed the mode back to RGB and pasted a colored road pic on top of the duotone road.  I went to Layer, Add Layer Mask and chose Hide All.  Then I simply used the brush tool to remove the mask to show the double line in the original yellow.

After making it into a pdf, I used the Link tool (Tools, Advanced Editing, Link Tool) to hyperlink the registration url. Since the flyer is being distributed electronically and the url is a bear, this will make things much easier for potential attendees.

I laid this out in InDesign (yay!) because it’s easier to make pdfs there than in my ancient Photoshop version.  When I created the pdf, I the translucent bars had white edges and were raised a pixel or 2 over the image.  So in the pdf setup, I went to Advanced and set the Transparency Flattener to High Resolution. 

WTTAC Website Goes Live!

I relinked all of the WTTAC webpages on Tuesday so it’s all live and the old website is gone for good.  Vaso wanted it posted before the end of March so she could report it finished in the first quarter but with my accident and being sick on Monday, I didn’t get to it until the 1st.  Still, the work was done and it was just a matter of uploading.   It’s gotten some positive feedback, including a shout-out from Ashlee in Holland.  Hollah!
