What
to save:
Create
a folder named " yourlastname as4" and save the following for grading:
One file in Adobe inDesign format,
and one file in
Adobe PDF format.
Make
sure the file extention is present in all files you save.
Place
the final copies in the Graphic Design "Drop Box"
 Plan
your project carefully from the very beginning. Use pencil and paper sketches
on the initial stages to design the general layout, and then create the placeholders
in inDesign.
Use Photoshop
to manipulate your images, Illustrator to create graphics and fancy type
elements, and inDesign to put the layout together.
Pay particular
attention to the size of your images to make sure they will fit in your page
placeholders. It will be useful if you convert all the measuring units in
all the programs you use to the same unit.
For your images
use your own scanned images (no magazine or downloaded photos please), and
scan them at a low resolution (150 dpi).
