DTP



You have created two A4 newsletters with the same design layout.
This is the third. Use the same layout that you created last week, but change the headline, pull quote, box text, picture and caption.
The picture, blocks of lead type, can be taken off this page and dropped into your newsletter.
Here is the body text for copying and pasting:



"After designing a document comes prepress. It is the process of preparing digital files for printing. Type and Traditional Prepress:The typesetter receives text and type specifications from the designer. Typesetting that may have been done with lines of metal type, later gave way to type composition by machine, such as Linotype. The type then goes to the paste-up person who puts it on a paste-up board (mechanicals) along with all the other elements of the publication.
Type and Digital Prepress. The designer has complete control over type -- digital type -- changing it on the fly, arranging it on the page, setting leading, tracking, kerning, etc. No typesetter, no paste-up person. This is done in a page layout programme, like InDesign."


Create this layout 
Then try to recreate this layout. The contents are exactly the same as the first one you created, but the fonts and arrangements are different. The style is a bit more modern (if you call the 1980s mixed with the 1960s modern.)

When you are finished you should have four A4 newsletters.
Save them all as Photoshop files with layers.
Give the files to Neil or me on a USB key.
Print out the four pages in colour. Plain paper is ok. Put them in a folder, with your name, and also give them to Neil or myself.
