Unfortunately, I am unable to be with you again today...the day after more history (this time, not so good) was made here in the state of Illinois.
Obviously, today I would like you to do some reading on the Blagojevich arrest. Both the Sun-times and the Tribune are covering it beautifully. This piece especially speaks to our ethics unit, and is incredibly rare. Make sure you read it. Also, check out some of the editorials on the subject. This one by John Kass from the Tribune is pretty good at poking fun at G-Rod.
Finally, I know you are still hard at work on your front page replicas. Here is some information for you that you probably could have used yesterday. Several of these fonts will be unavailable in the version of InDesign you have, so search for a comparable font to use instead. I know Avenir and Adobe Garamond Pro were unavailable on Monday.
Fonts:
- "Kaleidoscope" is in Palatino 68 pt. Bold, though the "K" is 98 pt.
- "THE KENWOOD ACADEMY" is in Palatino 18 Bold
- "Inside" Box is in Avenir 16, info below in box is in Avenir 11
- "Issue" and Date in between lines are in Palatino 10
- First Headline is Avenir 36 Bold
- 2nd Headline is Avenir 29 Regular
- Bylines are in Adobe Garamond Pro 10 pt. Bold
- All Body text is in Garamond 11...remember to use the Lorem Ipsum generator at designerstoolbox.com and use the linking device I showed you in class.
- Photo credits are in Adobe Garamond Pro 7 pt. regular
- Photo captions are in Arial 10 Italic
- Jumpline for 1st story is in Avenir 13
- "Obama Coverage" info in bottom photo box begins with Avenir 19 pt.
Make sure all text lines up on the page and that your placement is closely comparable to the front page of the Kaleidoscope.
I will show you how to fill boxes with "color" when I return to class tomorrow and we can hopefully wrap up this activity!
See you all tomorrow -
Mr. Rhodes
