Apple Displays Sell Sheet Layout

This exercise in your Computer Graphics Two course includes assembling a page layout similar to the “PowerBook Sell Sheet” you worked on earlier this semester.

Project Highlights

  • This project is worth 15% of your final grade.
  • This layout is due at the end of class.
  • Use the provided content and guide to construct a layout in InDesign, using style sheets, spacing, indents, paragraph rules and tabs.

You will use the model I will hand out as a guide. Don't take any liberties. You must follow the instructions exactly. This is a scenario much like you might encounter at a corporation. If you work in a corporate design department, the corner office people will expect you to adhere to the company's visual guidelines.


The Ground Rules

You know what I mean: stay between the lines.

There are ground rules which apply to this exercise. Most are indicated on the sample distributed in class. The page is letter-sized (8.5” X 11”). The document is composed of three main text boxes: one for the promotional text; one for the “System Requirements” section; and one for the specifications table at the bottom.

All text must be formatted in the Myriad Pro font. You must use Paragraph Styles throughout the document. Note that some occurrences of the product names are formatted in Myriad Pro Italic. This must be done with a Character Style Sheet. You need to place the provided image of the displays at the designated size. Insert the Apple logo at the top-right corner of the page. Once you are done, create a new folder named “lastname, fullname” on your Desktop. Perform a “Package”, placing all the files in this folder. Copy the final folder in the appropriate “Drop Box”

  • Your document cannot have two consecutive carriage returns.
  • Your document cannot have two consecutive space characters.
  • All Tab spaces must be defined. Never have more than one tab character at a time.
  • All text must be associated to a Style Sheet.
  • All text must be in Myriad Pro. Not Myriad.
  • You must use all the copy provided.
  • All text must be in black.
  • You must have a four-column grid.
  • All punctuation must "hang" where appropriate.
  • Text boxes must span the three columns.
