So, I'm furthering my graphics abilities and now applying them to newsletters. After my mom asked me to put together a newsletter template for her I started thinking, "I'm not even sure I would know where to start". Well duh! Where I always start, thinking about who or what i'm trying to portray. So, in this case putting my moms character and love for teaching into a design. Easy right? yeah, pretty easy. Color? well she's bright and a little pozazzy. Format? Simple but nothing too bland. Visually appealing because she's definitely not boring. Shapes are a definitate because well, it's school and lets face it a little bit of scrapbooking never hurt anyone. Also keeping in mind the flow. It does have a picture on the left so the reader may be directionally stimulated to read the feature article that was done by a few students in the class. Then you may move to the right and read the "welcome" updates. As far as the header, there isn't really a logo and the font should be simple with a little funk. Voila. My first attempt at a wonderful newsletter.
This is awesome! It looks like your mom is doing a great job with things in her class. Thats exciting that the kids are learning about the tabernacle, i'm reading in exodus too. hehe. But just so you know in my future classroom, you can design stuff for me too :)
