Details
1. All work should be spell-checked and proof-read bya at least one other person.
2. Your time in the class is limited, use your time wisely. Write your column, story
and
letters at home. Type them out and save them as plain .txt files on a disk if
you can.
3. Two ads plus the cover can be in colour. Avoid solid colour fills. If you want
a page
background to be coloured then use coloured paper.
4. Colour printing takes time. We will start printing colour ads when they are finished.
5. Do not print out other parts of your magazine until you have applied the principles
of design first.
6. Print only when you are sure it is done. Check the print setup each time.
