Newspaper Design #2 Turn-in Instructions. Posted 2/4 - MAJOR

When you are done:

When you have your newspaper design done, please follow the instructions listed below to turn your projects in. FOLLOW THEM SPECIFICALLY AND EXACTLY. It may look complex and it isn't simple, but if you follow them carefully you will need no help from me.

You must have your page open in InDesign (NOT photoshop)

>File>Adobe PDF presets>Smallest File Size

>Rename your magazine cover as follows: Last name_first name_Newspaper Design 2_period #

Make sure to save it in your folder ON THE DESKTOP.

>Click export (if any messages come up about outside the clipping area or anything else like that during the .pdf creation process, click okay)

1. Open your email (gmail, yahoo, whatever you use), compose new mail
2. The email address to send your Newspaper Design 2 is:  mreeves1@austinisd.org
3. The subject line is: Last name_first name_Newspaper Design 2_period#
4. Click attach file (it often has a paperclip looking item next to it)
5. Attach your Newspaper Design - BE VERY CAREFUL and make sure to send me the one that is a .PDF (It will have a .pdf ending and the file should look like a little grey square) DO NOT SEND ME THE InDesign document which is purple and at the end says .indd.
6. Click send (or mail or whatever your company uses to send mail).

ALSO  -  we want to post this on your Google Site. To do this you have to convert the .pdf into a .PNG file. This is 25% of your grade.

1. Open Photoshop
2. Open the .pdf of your newspaper design 2 (NOT the .indd, it won't work)
3. When the .pdf converter pop-up box appears, click okay
4. >File>Save as

5. Click - ON YOUR COMPUTER
6. Change the format into .PNG - this is located near the bottom of the pop-up box
7. Click save
8. It should default to large file size, if not change it and click OK
9. If you get any other pop-up boxes, click okay 
10. Post it on your Google Site on a new subpage called Newspaper Design #2

Once you have it posted on your blog, you are....

DONE!!!!
