Unit 5.1 Introduction

Lesson 5.1 begins Design Project #4 and we’re going back to our roots: InDesign.

Get it? "Roots?"

Get it? “Roots?”

Design Project #4 is about designing a newsletter, so we’ll be focusing on how to create long-form documents within InDesign.

Project Requirements:

  • Three pages (minimum)
  • Four complete stories (minimum) (Stories do not have to be original! In fact I *encourage* you to find stories that are listed in the news section of the company or organization website and adapt them to fit the newsletter.

The newsletter must include:

  • One nameplate
  • Headlines (for every article)
  • Deck (for every article)
  • Bylines (for every article)
  • Photos (one per article)
  • Caption (one per photo)
  • At least one pull quote
  • At least one jump article
  • At least one article must have subheads

Don’t remember what any of these mean? Refer to the Typesetting Assignment we did way back during Bootcamp.
