Description
This is a brochure I designed to be a comp card (composition card) representing Jourdan of MSA Models in New York City. A comp card serves as the latest and best of a model’s portfolio and are used as a business card in the industry. This example I created is for a school project and educational purposes only. Much of the body copy in the brochure is fictional, and some is factual.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills)
I began by creating a new logo for MSA Models in Photoshop. It is similar to the original, but on the original there is no color blocking, and the font is different. Next I cut out the background of one of Jourdan’s photographs so that she could be a freestanding image against the black background.
Next I moved to InDesign and created two pages, with a trifold layout on an 8.5″ x 11″ page , and added three columns on the two pages, for a trifold brochure. I added a black background. I then added the photos I wanted to use by placing them on the pages, and next I added text boxes, and filled them with placeholder text. Then I manipulated my photos and text boxes to fit in a stylish design on the pages, leaving plenty of white space, using gestalt, and lining all images and text boxes with something.
Next I added my original text, and added headings, separating them from the body text. I used line space style paragraphing. I used text wrap to wrap the text around Jourdan’s body.
After my critiques, I realized I had too many images, so I had to cut a few of them, in order to maintain good balance, and create white space. I spent a lot of time reorganizing the text and photos to fit nicely in the brochure.
Message
The message is to advertise Jourdan’s skills as a professional model.
Audience
Potential clients of MSA looking for models for print, runway, commercial, or fit.
Top Thing Learned
I became much more comfortable and confident using InDesign with this project.

Bridget! I really liked the feel of this brochure. One thing that caught my eye was the way you wrapped the text talking about the model’s size. It is kind of staggered and that was so interesting! I wouldn’t have thought to do that. I like that the whole thing was black. It looked sharp. Great logo on the front as well. It was really well done! You always produce amazing work.
