DTP+Part+3


 *  Part 3 - Creating a Newsletter **

In this section you are expected to create your newsletter using Adobe InDesign and any other products from the Adobe Suite which you may find useful. Remember to ensure that your newsletter targets your audience and that it is fit for it's purpose. You should also ensure that the success criteria you came up with in Part 1 are met during this process.

Your newsletter will be to inform people about the dangers of pollution and what we can do to protect the environment / promote sustainable development or ‘green living’. Your 'publishing company' must also have their own logo (think of Greenpeace or the United Nations).


 * Before you begin, make sure you do the following: **


 * Use Photoshop to manipulate images collected from earlier research so they are ready to insert into your publication.
 * Decide on a layout (look at examples on www.issuu.com or other magazines / newsletters you have read).
 * Set up your document template with the correct number of pages, document size and resolution (your teacher will help you with this)


 * Remember that your publication must include: **


 * Your own logo
 * Some facts on how to be more enviromentally-friendly or conservation-aware
 * Your research, classified into the most important information only and in your own words as much as possible
 * An international environmental issue that is a 'hot topic'
 * A section of your own choice (eg. 'Recycling at BIS'
 * The results of your survey / questionnaire in graph format.

Although your teacher will take you through a series of skills lessons, will prove useful as will these  and there are various tutorials online also to help you, listed below:
