PDF Design and Inspiration

When designing my PDF to display all of my screen designs I looked to behance.net for a lot of inspiration. I knew that I wanted a very simplistic PDF that matched the overal theme of my app however I was also interested in using a combination of flat design and 3D, which is not normally I combination that you would think of putting together.

This design for ‘Bemyspot’ was a particular influence as I liked the layout of it. I liked the use of different coloured blocks to break the PDF up into individual sections and the incorporation of the colour theme and typography. I used this same sort of layout for the beginning of my PDF.

This design from D-D PLAY was a big influence as I really liked the colours as they were already similar to the theme that I had chosen however I also really enjoyed the 3D aspect of it. To recreate this I used illustrators 3D ‘Extrude and Bevel’ feature to create my own 3D steps and iPhones to display my screens on.

Below you can see my take on these two PDF designs and the incorporation of their style into my work.
