We started class with a Facebook Live session with Mr.Vinod. He briefed us about the module, the projects and exercises that we would be doing for class. Moreover, we were briefed on about our project 1, he showed us some of our senior's works. We should be starting our content gathering by next week. He also posted a lecture video about "Formats" on Youtube for us to watch at home.
In the video, he explained about the different formats that have been used by different civilisations around the world. He explained about how the formats have changed over different periods of time. The civilisations that were looked into were Mesopotamian civilisation, Ancient civilisation, Indus valley civilisation, Han Chinese civilisation and European civilisation.

We needed to use InDesign for next exercise. The purpose of the exercise is to explore simple forms to create a pattern that flows based on the grid system.
To start, we needed to set the margins and columns.Then we add shapes to create the flow of the 16 page spread.
