Flyer Redesign Project (elective class only)

1. Go to this web page.

2. Control-click on the link to the word document and download it to the desktop.


3. Open the file in MS Word.


4. Identify the problems: spelling, formatting, proximity, alignment.


5. Follow these steps in Word to redesign the flyer:
  • Align all text to the left.
  • Fix the spelling errors. Spell out Saturday, Sunday and August.
  • Replace all-caps words with upper- and lower-case words.
  • Separate the parts of a phone number with - (a dash) or . (a period).
  • Format the paragraphs so that related items have proximity (are closer together).
  • Adjust font sizes to emphasise key concepts.
  • Any other ideas for improvement? See what you can come up with!
  • Save the file to your folder on the desktop.
