Deadline 10/3/11 - Promotional Material and DTP

You should already have your double page spread of DTP done from last year and touched up for today's deadline.  USE the checklist to ensure that you have all the elements you need to get full marks.

You then need to use the InDesign software to create a poster to promote the camera you drew in VectorWorks.

Set up your pages with the rules and frames in place.  Having looked at some examples of different magazine articles you should have a good idea of what you want your advert to look like.

You need to export your VectorWorks rendering as an image file.  Change the type to TIFF so that you can increase the resolution for a better image.  You can then "place" this into the frame you have ready.

Make sure that you source a good image as a background or additional image.  You must also include creative and informative text.  So have an eye-catching heading and add some information about the camera.  My example here shows text along a path which gives a more creative use of text.  Make sure that you use a clipping path around your camera image so that you don't have any white outlines.  My one still needs some work but it should give you an idea.
