Tonight’s exercise was to create the front page of a made up newsletter. The brief was simple. The front page had to contain the following information:
- A Newspaper Title / Name
- A Price
- Two News Articles with Headlines (One should be the main story)
- Google could provide ‘sample’ content, rather than typing stories.
- Two Adverts
- A Variety of Suitable Fonts
We spent a considerable amount of time on this, utilising text boxes and clipart, and the following is an example of how well some of the students did. For a first attempt the results where very good.
The nice thing about Microsoft Publisher is that you can be as creative as you like. Halloween is fast approaching for those that participate in the annual celebration, and 
simple household decorations can be generated by using simple clipart, printed out on A4 sheets and tagged to string or ribbon. Its the ideal way to make you own bunting to hang and drape around the house. Some spooky ghosts and ghouls are some scary pumpkins! Depending on the celebration it can be very easy! Another good idea that I read about was that of carving cool look pumpkins! With Publisher? Yes, you print out the design and away you go…..check it out by clicking the following link: Halloween Pumpkin Carving!
Next week, a little ahead of ourselves, but getting ready for the festive season, we will have a look at how we can create a simple yet effective ‘Advent Calendar’.
