Forth step then you want to adjust the colors you click the curve icon to the left of each of the color in turn to adjust how the color is applied to the image. The highlights are shown on the right of the chart and the shadows are shown on the left.

Fifth Step the duotone image setting stay the same even if you open a new image, so if you want to have multiple images with the same duotone settings you don't have to go back and reset them everytime.

Final Project

For my final project I choose to make graduation announcements.My announcements are going to be a gate fold style to set the document i made  4x9 pages and placed them together. The purpose of this announcment was to let people know about my graduation party. The target audience for this is my family and friends, these are my target audience because these are the people who will be invited to my party. The call to action in my project is the RSVP to my parents for the party.

The overall size of my project is double sided, I chose to place 3 4x9 pages together and linked them on indesign. I have a .125 bleed with a .05 margin. the color I choose for this project with the Pitt State pantone colors, one on each side. The paper it is printed on is 80 pound coated. To produce 500 of these it would cost me around $260 dollars, this includes having them cut scored and folded.

The Master Image elements that I achieved for this project are a reverse, a illustrator element, and a vector image. The only copyright I have on this project is the picture on the back of my family, this was one of my own personal pictures.
