A great outreach tool and new software

I recently completed a brochure for the King Open school using Adobe's InDesign for the first time. Back when I was the photo editor at the Improper Bostonian I was stuck using Quark, a program that was clumsy and awkward to use. InDesign is amazingly intuative to work with and incredibly compatible with Photoshop and Illustrator.

This brochure was my first big assignment in my curriculum frameworks class, which I am also blogging about. Our instructor Dan Fleming is a vice principal in two Framingham middle schools and is a huge supporter of library outreach, as am I. Simple brochures, newsletters, and Web site updates are great ways to remind faculty that the library is always available and current, promoting events, new resources and activities. It was a really fun assignment and the librarian I work with is planning on using it as part of her outreach!
