Now, let's move into the Design Stage:

First of all you have to have a Design Specification. What is a Design Specification? Let's talk about that.

Here is the Design Specification for your project: The newsletter should include( at least) : Each newsletter must: be 4 pages; include a Newsletter Title; include Index; include Volume and Issue Numbers; Newsletter Date; Photo Gallery, Captioned photos, Bulleted sidebar, Choose appropriate template; Customize Colour Scheme; Use 2 Different Fonts; the text in the "Lead Story" must be justified; Insert at least 1 drop cap; Must be attractive; Text included should be error-free (!!!)


Next, begin the DESIGN portion of the project:

1)Produce three possible newsletter layouts - experiement and change the color, and font
2)Choose one and fully justify your choice ( Why did I select this layout? Will it lend itself better to my topic? Is it more attractive? )
3)Evaluate against the Design Specification
