Publication Module Reflections

I decide to take some risks and new challenges while working on this module. The publications made in this module were used in my poster session during FLA 2010. I used Power Point for the poster. In my Basic Info class, we created a poster for the class. I used the same template, modified it, and used it for my poster this year. The major issues were just finding the correct photos for the correct portions of the template. Some of the images were found in Microsoft clip art. The other images were edited using Adobe Photoshop.

For my handouts, I used Adobe InDesign. This was the first time using this program. At work, I use a similar program called Microsoft Publisher. I found a template for creating the handouts and modified it. Inserting images was a challenge for me in this program. I never could get it to resize correctly by just clicking on the corners. I ended up resizing it in photoshop and then inserting the image. Other than that particular issue, I was able to figure out enough to finish the document.

In the future, I plan on taking a course just on inDesign.
