Swatches- blog post #3

Swatches, swatches, and more swatches! What's not to LOVE? 

Still being fairly new to indesign and all it has to offer, I find swatches to be beyond helpful when it comes to the layout and design. 

In our most recent project of designing brochures, swatches will come in handy when i decide what color scheme I want to use. Take my first line of blue in the image attached as an example; I could use a dark blue for the font, the lowest opacity blue would be my text box color and the middle opacity blue would be the accent.

Using swatches prevents you from using 3 different blues that first of all don't look good together and second of all looks sloppily made.
I definitely think that I will use swatches for mediated comm projects and perhaps in future comm classes!
