NEW:  Magazine layout design practice - Must show Ms. Greco today!

You will be graded on whatever you create - it doesn't have to be perfect, but you must 
have something saved to show Ms.  Greco.

Google Images search for "article layout." - Look at examples for ideas

Read/Watch these links for help:

Research and figure out how to do the following things (check the previous links 
for help):
  • Create a two-page document with two columns (HINT:  When creating, choose start at                                   page 2)
  • Create four or five large text boxes in the columns - leave room at the top                                     and/or bottom for titles
  • Add "Placeholder text" in the text boxes
    • Placeholder text is random text that fills the text boxes (research                      Placeholder text in InDesign)
    • Do a Google search to figure out how to do this
  • Practice linking (threading) text boxes together
  • Insert three pictures (use square and round picture frames)
    • Insert any three pictures (Fill Frame Proportionally)
    • Insert pictures into the middle of the text then practice text wrapping                          (see below)
  • Practice text wrapping with pictures - so text goes around the picture frames
  • What is a Drop Cap letter?
    • Add a drop cap letter in two places
    • Do a Google search to figure this out
  • Page numbers - figure out how to add page numbers to the document
  • Add a couple of fake article titles with cool fonts and cool effects
  • Save as an InDesign document - call it Magazine Practice
  • Be ready to show Ms. Greco!
