Assignment 3: Flight to Evzoni [Brief]


Brief for Flight to Evzoni
Produce an attractive display of an extract from a novel Flight to Evzoni

1. You will be provided with a text file called customs. This contains three paragraphs of a novel. Alternatively, you may be asked to obtain this by scanning a printed version or copying from the internet. Save the file as customs1 so that you will not risk changing the original file.

2. Each paragraph should have a heading – use these three:

Customs control | The car park | Papers

3. Add a main heading at the beginning of the document (but not in a header): Evzoni

4. Select a suitable serif font for the main text between size 10 and 12

5. Select a suitable font for the main heading Evzoni and three paragraph headings. The main heading should be larger than the size used for the other three

6. Change the page layout so that the left and right margins are 2” (or 5cm) a top margin of 2” (5cm) and a bottom margin 3” (7 ½ cm). Set the gutter to ½“ (1cm) and justify the main text.

7. Insert a page break at the beginning of the document to create a new first page. On this page place the text Flight to Evzoni in a large and attractive font suitable for a cover page.

8. In a header for all pages, except the first, enter the same title Flight to Evzoni (in a smaller but same style font as the title page) and also a page number in a plain, contrasting font next to that. There should be no page number on the first page and the numbering on the second sheet should start at 1.

9. Put your name and the date in a footer, using a smaller font than the main document text. This should not appear on the first page.

10. Add appropriate images to the front page and to each paragraph. You can choose the type and style of image but they should relate to the text and the three in the main text should have a consistent theme, size or layout.

11. The finished document should be no more than 4 pages and there should be no sections of text less than three full length lines at the top or bottom of the main text pages.

12. All content, including images should be contained within the margins when printed. Save the file in an original (editable) format and in PDF format, both named customs2.
