Mon 9-24: How to get Ahead in Advertising

Greetings, one and all and everyone of you!

Today, we are going to follow up the "front page news" files you made last week by using several different tools to make a Libre Text document look like an ad from your paper. You will need to download the following to your folder, right now:

A) The Libre Office document found HERE

B) A picture of some product or other -- could be hi tops, could be a car, could be perfume, could be anything. The choice of product is up to you, but it must be legal and school appropriate

C) A picture of the famous person who will be endorsing your product. This could be an actual person, or a fictional character. Again, someone who is appropriate for school, please!

Once you have all three in place, open the Libre file you just downloaded. Yup, its blank. You will fill it, but FIRST, you need to open the "Drawing" toolbar by clicking on the VIEW command at the top of the screen, then clicking on TOOLBARS, then click on the "Drawing" toolbar. You'll need it!

1) OK, now to get down to business: use the INSERT -- PICTURE -- FROM FILE command to get the picture of your celebrity sponsor into your word document.

2)Click on that picture then click where it says "Format" at the top of the screen, then go to the bottom of that menu and click "Picture"

3) Click the "Wrap" tab

4) click the choice that says "THROUGH", then click OK

This makes it possible to move your picture anywhere you want, and it will not displace any text that you put in

5) Insert the product you're sponsoring, and follow the same steps as above to be able position the product right where you want it.

6) At the bottom of the screen, you will see your "Drawing" toolbar. If you don't, then just click on the VIEW command, then go to Toolbars, then Drawing

 At the left end of that toolbar, there should be some button that looks like a "talk bubble"...this is the callout command. click it, then click the callout shape of your choice.

7) These are also known as "talk bubbles" and you will need to use at least one to have your celebrity sponsor say something about the product you are selling. Just draw one near that person's head, then fill it with what they should be saying

work on that, then lets finish up in part two
