Lesson 25

Our group project is due next week! The time really flies. So far for my project i am happy to say i am already halfway there. I managed to complete one page of my 2 page newsletter so i will talk about it awhile. Here is my first page. Note that the fonts and the pink colour may or may not be the final as i just used it to have a look at the layout.





















Starting right at the top, i made a banner out of a picture of fruits. What i did was trace out the shape i wanted for the banner using the pen tool, inverse select then delete the rest of the picture. A nice trick which i picked up from the e learning exercise we did.

The headline and sub header is using a font i downloaded called syntax. I did some research on fonts that are commonly used in health magazines and this was one of them.

The picture of the woman is used to show that between the apple and the cupcake, choose the apple and eat healthy, this fits in my theme of diet

On the left hand side of the page, in the pink box, that is the summary and overview of the article. I put it in a column to make it take up less space and be less boring that a summary must always be in the middle.

The 3 steps to eating healthy was taken from an article and rephrased to fit in the space by me. I thought this would be quite interesting as it is short and sufficient to get my points across.

The last paragraph at the bottom right corner will to talk about the food pyramid on the right and explain how and why it works.
