DEVELOP A PORTFOLIO
Bookmarks
Assignment
In this assignment you will create two-sided bookmarks to be used for personal distributions.
Use the following guidelines to create your bookmarks:
Start Microsoft Word, and make sure a new, blank document is open.
Rotate your page sideways by changing the orientation to Landscape.
Use the columns command to make 4 Columns.
Insert a picture into the first column.
Resize the picture so that it fills up the first column as much as you like.
Add
text to your bookmark. Try adding a text box inside the
bookmark area of column one. Remember to format the text to make it
attractive. Feeling fancy? Try adding WordArt to your bookmark
instead of a text box. Explore the different shapes and styles of
your WordArt. Move and resize your WordArt as needed.
Tip:
To make your WordArt vertical instead of horizontal, select one of
the styles on the right side of the WordArt Gallery.
Create more bookmarks in the second and third columns.
Explore
different uses of pictures, borders, and frames as well as text boxes
and WordArt. Be creative with your font selections, text color, and
picture choices. You'll be amazed at the great bookmarks you design.
Some might even turn into gifts!
More Ideas:
Add pictures from other sources such as the Internet, a digital camera, a scanner, or pictures from a CD.
Print your bookmarks on colored paper (or even thicker paper if your printer accepts it).
Laminate your bookmarks to make them last longer. Try punching a hole at the top of your bookmark, and tie a piece of yarn or ribbon through the hole.
Hand out bookmarks to parents and other relatives as gifts.
Create a bookmark with a theme that matches a curriculum unit you just completed.
