Newspaper Design #1. Assigned 1/28, due 1/30 - Minor

 Newspaper Design Project #1

Today you will use the entire period to re-create a page from The Dispatch Issue #4.

Here is a link to the file:

NEWSPAPER DESIGN #1

Once you get it downloaded into the Download Folder, you will need to move it to either your desktop, or into your folder on the desktop. It should give you the prompt to DOWNLOAD right when you open the link.

Once you have it in the proper place, open the InDesign file (it has the letters .indd at the end). When you open it, there will be an error message about missing links, you can just click OKAY. This will not impact what you are doing today. And when you are working the graphics will have a ? near them, ignore that.

You will see, if you are in Normal view mode, that there are all the parts that were used to create Entertainment page 13 in the 3rd issue of The Dispatch. There are paper versions of the paper at your desks to help you when you recreate this page. I will show you how to get into the proper view mode for this project.

Your job is simple. Move those items into the proper place as you see on Page 12. Everything should move properly into the correct space. You should not have to adjust ANYTHING. Just use the TOP arrow tool and move items into the correct spots. DO NOT CHANGE THE DIMENSIONS OF ANYTHING ON THE PAGE. Be careful and do not grab the little white dots around the borders of the items you are moving. 

In addition, when you are moving photos or art, make sure you DO NOT click the middle of the photograph, make sure you are away from the center circle that will pop up.

HINTS: if you think you made a mistake, you can always use COMMAND-Z to go back one step.

Make sure that you use ALL of the items available and that they are in the right places. Refer to the printed page to help you. There are a number of little pieces like short lines and things like that, which should be included on your page design.

Once you are done putting the puzzle together, call me over so I can take a look.

After I approve it, create a .PDF at the smallest file size and put that file into your Google Drive and make sure it is share so BOWIE HIGH SCHOOL can VIEW it. Then get the link, and put it on your Google Site on a new subpage called Newspaper Design #1 using the embed function. Once you complete that, open your PDF in Photoshop and make it into a PNG by SAVING AS and converting it into a .PNG. Then put that PNG file on your Google Site on the same subpage called Newspaper Design #1. Hit PUBLISH!!!
