Snowboarder

Snowboarder

For this, we learned the basics of InDesign.  I added lines at the halfway mark of 8.5 inches and then at 8.25 and 8.75 on either side of the middle line.  I made black lines all around the pages to show closure.  I placed the photo of the snowboarder in twice, cropping one so that the snowboarder looked like he was coming out of the photo at the reader.  I added the next two snowboarders and shifted them at an angle.  I added a drop shadow to both images.  I created character styles and paragraph styles so that the fonts I used would stay the same throughout the publication.  I copied and pasted in the text from TCU online and adjusted it to fit perfectly with columns.  I clicked on the photo of the snowboarder coming down and went to window, text wrap 0.125 away from the photo so the text wouldn’t be too close to the image.  I then created a rectangle and fixed two of the corners in corner options to be rounded.  I filled the rectangle with a gradient.  I copied and pasted it and made it a little shorter on the other side.  I added the text from the document onto both rectangles.  I then placed the logo into the image.  I then did header and footer text to match the article we were copying.
