For the newslettter project i once again decided to work with Kelleigh Welsch as she had been a good partner for the Brocure project and as an editor for the hawks herald has a god understanding of Quark.
As it turns out, technically speaking this was an easy project. The problem for us the aesthetics of setting up a cohesive and eye catching newsletter to do this we took ideas from some of the newsletters that were circulating around class. for instance the banner that covers the inside page was a particularly nice touch. to build it we took a banner from the RIIFF website and used photoshop to extend and realize it. The colors are vivid which was good for this.
A trick Kelleigh taught me was that when you use colors on a document and have a picture in the same window you should steal the colors from the photo to use. For instance on the inside page we have backdrop colors which all exist in the overhead banner. This method makes for a natural color arrangement.
Actually using the text box tool, with columns and so on was easy as i am also an editor at the paper and ahve used quark many times before.
