Re-Design of the Thesis Book

This week I finally dove into InDesign and created a new look for my final Thesis Book for the Gather project. I created a page style that included a footer with consistent information and to reinforce my color scheme and style. There are two new pages since the last update: Logo & Mobile App styling page and the Mobile Style Guide page. I hope to build this out to incorporate the rest of my pages when I re-visit User Experience this summer.
