Short projects using InDesign

This was a newspaper front that we had to do to help us get used to Adobe InDesign. Having previous experience with Adobe Pagemaker, as well as designing newspaper fronts, I used that to my advantage. I decided to give the paper a catchy name as well as a tag to go with it, and borrowed some news stories from the internet to help act as filler, but were still related to the topic of electronics. This was mainly used to help hone down our design skills and help to get used to design programs.

A lack of postings

I haven't been very proactive with publishing things on this. But it is a busy time of year, so I promise that once things calm down a bit, I will publish everything on here, so that everyone can view them.
There's a couple of different projects that need to be put up here. And if anyone has any requests for a review of a certain advertisement, please, feel free to say so. Let me know what advertisement it is *date/month, country, who's it for, medium* and I'll look it up and review it.

PR Event for FIRST Contractors

Because I turned the copy I had over to FIRST for Create-Athon onCampus, I don't have an exact duplicate of the idea that I had come up with. However, I do have a basic idea of what was thought up.
My part was "paint-a-plank day" where they would have an event at Maymont, or Carytown, and then people could buy a plank of wood to be used in the building process, and they could decorate their plank however they wanted, before donating it back to FIRST Contractors to be used in the building process. That way it's interactive, as well as a way to connect with and give back to society, even if it's in a smaller way.

Updates

I haven't updated this in almost two months. I've been careless with keeping this up to date. But I've also been hard at work with a lot of projects. So to keep everyone informed on what I'm doing I'll make sure I put my projects up for everyone to see. Feel free to critique any and all of them as you wish.
