DUE NOV. 1

Sometimes, you just need to get stuff done on a deadline. This is one of those occasions. If you don’t hand something in by the end of Friday’s class, you get a ZERO. Yes you have to do it. No you won’t get an extension.

The annual Remembrance Day service is coming up next week on Nov. 8. We are going to design the program for the event.

Here’s what we’ve used in previous years:

It’s OK. It does the trick but lacks that design flair that you will surely bring! The formatting is also a mess! It’s done on Word (ick) and whoever created it LOVED to press the Tab key and the space bar (double ick).

You will design a new one using InDesign. It’s 4 pages printed on one 8.5″ x 11″ sheet. Each page will be Letter – Half (5.5 x 8.5 inches). Use Facing Pages. I recommend a .25 inch margin. We won’t worry about the bleed here so remember that there will be a white border around the page.

You will probably want to rearrange your pages so you can view them as Spreads. In the Pages panel, turn off the checkmarks on Allow Document Pages to Shuffle and Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle:

Then move the pages together like this:

Use HIGH QUALITY, (preferably) copyright free content from somewhere like Unsplash or The Noun Project.

For now, just use the content from last year as a template. We’ll exchange more current info when I get it.

You can find helpful documents in the Hand Out folder!

You will need to PLACE the documents into FRAMES.

You will learn how to use the Tabs panel to line up text!
