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)

After you create a .PDF at the smallest file size 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 #2 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 #2. Hit PUBLISH!!!

ALSO  -  I 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

REFLECTION

Please take the time to look closely at your Newspaper Design #2 and complete the following reflection. On your Google Site, please make a new subpage called Newspaper Design #2 Reflection and answer the following questions there:

1. How many headlines are on your page and is there one for each story?

2. How many captions are on your page and is there one for each photo?

3. Are there any big white spaces on your page, especially ones that are "trapped" between objects and not planned white space that would be along the outsides of the page?

4. Did you include a byline for every story, photo and graphic?

5. Did you put a story stop on each story?

6. Did you view your page in Preview mode? You should and take a look at what you are actually turning in.

7. Tell me two frustrations you had while trying to complete this task?

8. Tell me two things you enjoyed about completing this task?

9. Rate your page on a scale of 1-10. Compare your page to a real Dispatch page as you rate yourself. Do you think your page compares to what current page editors have created this year?

10. Rate this assignments difficulty versus other practical applications we have done i.e. magazine covers, King Pica, etc. Was this easier or harder? Explain your answers.

For those people who are moving onto Newspaper next year and will be in Dispatch staff, please write a paragraph explaining what you thought about this process and tell me if this is something you might be interested in learning more about.
