Newspaper Design #2

Done?

Let's double check that you are really done:

Do you have the following:

1. A headline for every story
2. A caption for every photo
3. Are there any big white spaces? If so you need to fix that. EXCEPT FOR THAT BOX PROBLEM IN 1ST AND MS. D's classes.
4. Have you written all the headlines? Do they fill the entire space required? If not you need to write them to fill the entire space.
5. Did you use line dividers? Are they in the right place?
6. Do all captions have a photo by?
7. Do all stories have a byline?
8. If you used art (any .jpeg without a caption that I wrote for it), does it have an art by?
9. Are the entire stories there? Please read the story and make sure it doesn't cut off somewhere weird.
10. Did you put a stop into place at the end of every story?
11. Did you view your page in Preview mode? You should and take a look at what you are actually turning in.

.PDF and email, .JPEG and your blog

When you are done - you need to make your In Design document into a PDF file (.pdf file extension) and email it to Coach D at bowie.comm.photo@gmail.com and then convert that PDF into a JPEG (.jpeg file extension) and post it on your blog.

Here is how you do that:

You must have your Newspaper 2 Spread open in InDesign (NOT photoshop)

Converting your InDesign file to PDF Directions:

>File>Adobe PDF presets>Smallest File Size

Rename your newspaper page as follows: Last name_first name_newspaperpage_period #

Make sure to save it in your folder (not your H-drive, not your S-drive, NOT the desktop, your folder)

DO NOT CLICK SPREADS
DO NOT CHANGE FROM ALL TO ANYTHING ELSE

>Hit Export

If you get any sort of pop-up box, hit okay

This will create a single page .pdf spread. Email this to me using the following directions.

Submission Directions (How to turn it in)

1. Open your email (gmail, yahoo, whatever you use), compose new mail
2. The email address to send your yearbook spread is:  bowie.comm.photo@gmail.com
3. The subject line is: Last name_first name_newspaperspage_period#
4. Click attach file (it often has a paperclip looking item next to it)
5. Attach your yearbook spread - BE VERY CAREFUL and make sure to send me the one that is a .PDF (It will have a .pdf ending and the file should look like a little grey square) DO NOT SEND ME THE InDesign document which is purple and at the end says .indd.
6. Click send (or mail or whatever your company uses to send mail).

Posting your JPEG on your blog 

FINALLY  -  we want to post these on your blog. To do this you have to convert the .pdf into a jpeg file.

1. Open Photoshop
2. Open the .pdf of your newspaper spread (NOT the .indd, it won't work)
3. When the .pdf converter pop-up box appears, hit OKAY
This will open them both in Photoshop.
4. >File>Save as
5. Change the format into .jpeg
6. Click save
7. Make sure you save it at the highest file size
8. If you get any other pop-up boxes, click okay
9. Post it on your blog.
