/What to print and submit
(10) / Create a Brochure for your Small Business (Use a Template):· Pick a template and build a brochure for your small business. Don’t use all of the default settings for the template – make it your own!
· Some Ideas: Use your Web site and other assignments as source information for the brochure. Build the brochure with the Web site design in mind. The brochure doesn’t have to be end-to-end full of text – you can add images, clip art, and other things that you can think of that are relevant.
o The brochure might focus on the products/services you offer, it might use content from your newsletter (Word assignment), or it may explore other topics.

o A variety of features from the Insert tab, Building Blocks group
o At least two shapes
o Coupon (from the Advertisements command in the Building Blocks group)
o Table with some relevant data (insert table from Insert tab)

(5) / Create a Black and White Newspaper Advertisement for your Small Business (From Scratch):
· Build a new, blank, Publisher file that is 5” by 5” in size.
· Add a border that is along the edge of the 5” by 5” ad (when you print this will show you the edges of your ad).
· Use a bar (Insert tab, Borders and Accents command) in a creative way – perhaps to highlight the top or bottom of the ad, or the left or right.

· Include all of the basic information necessary: the name of your business, where it is located, hours, and what the purpose of the advertisement is… is it a special sale?
· You can look online, or in newspapers or magazines for design inspiration.
· Print in Black in White (if you have a color printer, you may print in color).
· You do not need to email the advertisement.
