1 sheet of recycled printed paper: gold florals on dark orange

Nothing fancy, just yr basic craft yarn in yellow, orange & black

Hi Stephanie,
We'll be going over this stuff in more detail tonight. I've got one of the staplers with me and some Percapellas we can practice on.
I also have some legal-sized samples to show you, and we can talk about duplex printing (printing on both sides). There are various ways to do that, even if your printer isn't set up to do it manually. :)
If you're using MSWord, you can set up two columns on the page and select "landscape" in your page setup. (More about this in class.) We can talk about what templates folks will need and get everybody set up.
I've used Quark for years, so it's my fave, but I like InDesign too, though I am just starting to use it. It's got lots of benefits since it works so well with Adobe's other apps. If you're thinking of learning a layout app from scratch, I think InDesign is a good bet because more and more print shops are picking it up and it makes PDFs in a snap.
Great questions! Keep 'em coming.
