Tarjetas de Presentacion en Publisher

SALUDOS de ARGENTINA!
Como la semana pasada, Eduardo va a dar una demonstracion, presta atencion, si quieres toma apuntes pero no trates de seguirlo. Despues Eduardo va a dar una segunda demonstracion, y ahi si siguelo!

Despues haz una tarjeta para tu companero de al lado, haz de cuenta que tu companero de clase es un cliente que te contrato para que le disenes una tarjeta para su negocio/profesion. Haz muchas preguntas, a que te dedicas? que tipo de negocio tienes o te gustaria tener (hasta que sepas en que concentrarte)? tambien detalles como direccion, numero de telefono y todo lo que requieres para la tarjeta.

1) Open Publisher 2007
2) On the “Getting Started with Microsoft Office Publisher 2007″ page, look on the left hand side. You will see a column with the heading “Publication Types” at the top. Look down the list and about 6 down you will see “Business Cards”. Click on it
3) In the main part of the window you will now see a variety of designs for your business card. There are newer, more contemporary designs at the top, and more classical designs down the bottom. Take a good look at each, and pick your favourite.
4) In the right hand column, there are a number of options for your business card. You can customise it with a different colour scheme, and a different font scheme.
5) Still in the right hand column, look for the “Business information” drop down box. If this is the first time you have created a business card, your only option will be “Create new…”. Select “Create new…” and a box will appear for you to enter your business card information. Once you are happy with all your details, click save.
6) If you are happy with all your decisions, click the “Create” button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
7) Once your card is created… check all the details, and then hit print!

Brochure en Word

Aca estan los pasos para hacer un pamfleto o brochure en Microsoft Word. Esta en ingles, pero si no entiendes no te preocupes, Eduardo va a dar una demostracion al principio de la clase (presta atencion!) despues lo va a hacer de vuelta, y esta vez trata de seguirlo.

Una vez que hayas hecho la demonstracion, crea tu propio brochure de tu propia compania o alguna imaginaria. Si no se te ocurre nada, haz un nuevo brochure para Michael Chavez Center (tal vez hasta lo usemos).

Step 1

Open up Word. You will automatically have a new blank document. Go to Page Layout, click Margins and choose Narrow.

Step 2

Click now on Orientation and choose Landscape.

Step 3

Still on the Page Layout Tap, choose Page Color and pick a color to your liking.

Step 4

Now go to the Insert Tap and select the Text Box button. Choose Simple form the pop up window. Since we are creating a Standard Tri-fold Brochure with the size 8.5 x 11 inch, we want the text box to be around 3.5 in. Place the text box on the right hand side. Type some text or leave the default text.

Step 5

Right click on the text box and choose Format Text Box from the bottom of the pop up window. There you can set the background and outline. I set the color and outline to none.

Step 6

While still in the Format Text Box window, choose the Text Box Tab and set the text to be align to the center of the text box.

Step 7

Go now to the Shapes button (we are still on the Insert Tab) and add a rectangle. Set the size to the lenght of the document and choose a height and fill color. The right click and from the Order option set the box behind the text.

Step 8

Add more shapes and more text boxes. Remember that we have a trifold brochure and we are adding therefore at least three text boxes. As a small help, you can set the default text box to three columns (Page Layout Tab). This might help you to align the added text boxes.

Step 9

Here is what we have so far. Some shapes, some text boxes with a header and a list.

Step 10

Add another text box just like we did in Step 4. Repeat this step for each brochure panel. Since we have per page three panels, you might want to add three bigger text boxes.

Step 11

This is what I have so far. Add as many elements as you want. You can fold a trifold brochure two ways , Accordion Fold or Gate Fold. You are looking at the outside of the brochure.

Step 12

This is the inside if we are making an accordion fold. I kept the style the same.

Step 13

Here are the two pages. The back panel could have the contact info or the inside panel. Once you add all the text, images or any other elements, you can print your brochure on your home printer. Make sure you can print borderless. Once you printed the first pages, turn over your page and print the other page onto the paper.
