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.
