Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State offers classes for folks ages 50+. Their catalog’s format was not the most friendly to older eyes—font size and style needed to increase, and the catalog needed to comply with Boise State brand standards.

My job:  Update fonts and formatting to comply with brand standards and put together a whole new catalog with all new courses twice yearly.

Challenges: Finding a balance between readable and economical for font size, number of pages, and printing costs.

Perks: Becoming a pro at using InDesign’s character and paragraph styles to fine tune the formatting. And looking forward to future years, when I’ll be old enough to attend the intriguing classes.
