20th Sep : NEA Basics Episode 3

Smart Start

List the Photoshop Elements skills & tools that you have developed and used so far.

Learning Check

For each element, identify how confident are you that you could apply the skill and use the tool if given an unsupported, independent project brief?


The Big Picture

In today's lesson you will answer the following questions;
  1. What is QuarkXpress?
  2. How do you use the Move Tool and the various Content Tools to construct a magazine page?
  3. What is a pull-quote?
  4. What is runaround?
  5. What is Lorem Ipsum?
  6. How do I export my completed page using the pdf file format?
Explain

To answer these questions, watch the training tutorial below. It was captured using QuarkXpress 9 on a Mac, but it is very easy to follow using QuarkXpress 2018 on PC.  Just remember that when I say "frame" in the tutorial, I mean "border" in the PC version.


Learning Check & Practise

Using the techniques shared in the tutorial, create your own magazine page. You can use a found image as your main image and Lorem Ipsum as the copy. You must include a pull-quote, sidebar, drop capital, page furniture and folio information.

Review

You will export and share your completed magazine page. We will then peer-assess your success, identifying areas of strength and, maybe, some areas for development.
