The new program for this week is Publisher. Again, I've always used Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or a word processor for these kinds of projects. Using these programs include a lot of work, which usually I don't mind because I like being original, but Publisher is nice because it's meant to create projects like flyers and brochures and newsletters so the formats are already created for you and you just have to plug things in where you want them. The downside to Publisher that really was an inconvenience is that it's not accessible, like Picassa. When I bought my computer I wanted to make sure it had all the software I would need, but my Microsoft bundle didn't come with Publisher. I tried finding a trial version online, too, but couldn't find one. Hopefully it's a program that most school have available.
I was happy to be able to use Publisher for a project for another class this week, too! Yay! And it saved me like four hours!I love being able to still use a template that already been created and mix it up just a tad by changing colors, adding extra images, etc..., and making it very original. That's always nice.

I'm sorry you don't have publisher at home. I can only speak for my district, but it is in all our school labs.
ReplyDeleteMost schools that have Microsoft Office also have Publisher. Typically it doesn't come in the MS home editions.
