DTP-birthday

Newsletter Project Create a birthday newsletter! Select someone you know, friend or family, and create a newsletter highlighting events that happened on his/her their birth date. Here are several websites to get you started. You will then want to do a little more research to expand on the events. You can include a list of famous people who were born on that date and much more – these web sites will give you lots of ideas. You could also include birth information – weight, length, time of birth, etc; or other personal info – marriage date, family information, etc. You could also add a personal note from you to the recipient. Please don’t include a horoscope. Another idea would be to obtain quotes from friends and family about the person or special or funny things that have happened during his/her life. The newsletter should be a minimum of 4 half-pages

FIRST SET UP YOUR DOCUMENT PROPERLY! When you start Publisher, select the tab for blank publications, select book fold and change the layout to landscape. Yes, you do want to insert pages so you have 4 pages.
