Out Sick – August 30th, 2016

Good morning! Sorry I couldn’t be there with you today. The cold I picked up this weekend got the best of me, but I’m hoping some rest will help.

Today, I’d like for you to continue to work on your InDesign page 2.  (Just because I’m not there doesn’t mean this is a day to chill and watch YouTube videos!) Use the shape tools on the left side toolbar to draw five different shapes, each with a different colored stroke and fill, placed on a new layer. Use the Layers palette, the Colors palette, and the Stroke palette to adjust the fill and stroke colors and width, and to create new layers. Watch the videos I’ve posted below for tips on how to do this.

Check the “Text and Effects” assignment posted earlier this week for further details. If you complete the assignment, feel free to turn it in to Google Classroom. If you still need help, I’ll be there tomorrow to assist and to help you turn it in.
