Weekly Simulations Newspaper

As Caitlyn and I began to create our newspaper for the second cycle we were really confused. We first thought we wanted to use publisher but we had a major problem trying to import the pictures into the format. After using the publisher format and not succeeding we changed and used the indesign format. We tried to different two different formats before choosing our final format. The first two formats that we used were in black and white and when we imported the pictures they did not show up in color and we wanted our newspaper to be in color. The final format that we chose was the same on the other GCB cycle used. I was a little disappointed in the fact that we had to use the exact same one that they did but it was the only format that was in color so we tried our best to make it different. My favorite aspect of our paper was the fact that we put all local Charleston advertisements in it and also that fact that we listed things to do in Charleston, Illinois. I also liked that our slogan for our newspaper was "How you see the problem is the problem." We tried to insert a lot pictures of past trade fair and the location which our trade fair was going to be held. As we meet in the library I thought that is wouldn't take us too long to put the newspaper together but after we had failed attempts it took us much longer than we ever thought it would. We left very frustrated but glad that it was completed. Sarah then went and took the newspaper to copy express to have the newspaper printed out for each corporation. The last GCB cycle did not pass out a copy of the newspaper so that was something else we did that the other cycle did not. Overall the newspaper turned out really get and was one of the things that I was proud of that we accomplished as the Second Cycle GCB.
