Layout Assignment: The Profile
YOUR TASK: Your mission is to use Microsoft Publisher to
layout your profile. This is a 50 point project.
Requirements
- Entire
1000 revised profile is present
- Is
uniformly Times New Roman Font, single spaced, and 10- 11 font (except
captions which may be smaller)
- At
least 2 enlarged quotes/excerpts (taken from later in the article) are
highlighted and it is clear who said what
- ABSOLUTELY
NO WHITE SPACE (go beyond “layout lines” on program = almost to the end of
the page)
- Two
photos: one old & one new (before and today). Try to stick with the
glue.
- All
photos have a caption that fits directly, exactly under photo; bold or smaller
font
- Photos
are placed in a visually appealing manner
- THERE
IS ABSOLUTELY NO WHITE SPACE
- An
appropriate and interesting FEATURE LEAD (grabs our attention)
- A sub
headline (tells more of the story)
- A
byline, bolded
- ABSOLUTLEY
NO WHITE SPACE (white space is the devil)
- Uses
columns: 2 or 3
- Your final product should resemble a
page from a newspaper or a magazine. Assume there are no other
articles on your page
- Use
FILLER for the WHITE SPACE: create an ad, enlarge a quote, add a dialogue
box, add a graphic, etc. Be creative. An especially nice thing is to stick to the
theme of your article and highlight your subject or relate to it: “Top Ten
Reasons to Love Lea Wersan,” “Katie Leon’s Life
Timeline,” “Philanthropic Groups
for Teens,” “Join a Club,” etc.
