Download the InDesign Sample Newsletter folder from the Supporting Materials section so all the items are on your computer before you make any design changes.
Analyze the sample newsletter contained within the InDesign Sample Newsletter folder from the Supporting Materials section:
Identify effective graphic design elements, based on the five elements and the six principles of design defined in Chapter 2 your textbook, Graphic Design: Learn It, Do It.
Capture the newsletter as an image and use one of the software applications to circle/highlight 2 to 3 effective design elements.
Insert the captured newsletter image with your highlighting into a Word document. Name each highlighted graphic design element (i.e., “White space”) and explain how the newsletter effectively applied this design element.
