Preliminary exercise: using DTP and
an image manipulation program, produce the front page of a new school/college
magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some
appropriately laid-out text and a masthead. Additionally candidates must
produce a mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp
of DTP.
