Calendar

• Assignment: create two calendar pages that incorporate logo and other pertinent information.

• I chose simple graphics to remind of holidays and used text only sparingly, to preserve writing space on the calendar.

• Clock/cash photo is repeated here as well.

Letterhead: Vertical logo adds interest and style, arrow is contemporary and clean; suggests movement. Attention to margins in design allows for typical block format letter.

A word from the designer:

To create this presentation, I saved each of my Adobe InDesign documents as JPEG files by selecting “File” , “Export” and then saving the document as a JPEG in the folder I had created for that document’s original on my flash drive.

I then used Microsoft Picture Manager to open the JPEG file and selected “Send To” Microsoft Office.

When the dialog box for Microsoft Office opened, I selected to send the files to a PowerPoint presentation I had created and opened. Each JPEG had to be inserted on a new slide that was added to the presentation as each time I inserted a new JPEG.

Comments about design elements and paper selections were added using text boxes formatted with a pale yellow on the black slide background. I used a blank slide layout with a black background to make the InDesign documents stand out.
