 Summary
• After the research I decided to make a 4 page
newsletter with the article about the news
what happen at school and some upcoming
events.
 Software
• Microsoft word= It’s good to make a document news and some school project. I already master this
software for along time. Every one also use this software to do their work and do projects.

• Microsoft power point= This software Is good to make slide shows and presentation It’s a little bad to make
newsletter and to make documents

• Pages= This software it’s so good to make newsletters and posters but Not everyone know how to use this
software.
 Summary software
• I will pick microsoft word software because I was not
new to use microsoft word. If I use power point It will
become a presentation and its hard to become a
news letter and if I use pages I cant use this software
because I never use this software before.
 Impacts
• Environment: After we print my newsletter, the newsletters will be rubbish
in 2-5 weeks and the whole newsletters will be junk at the dump. In other
way we also waste some inks and it will absorbed the ground and plants
will be poisoned, also we waste papers.
• Society: the newsletter will be read by the SWA students and maybe it will
be read by other people outside SWA. The SWA students will know what is
happen at SWA and the people outside SWA will know what are SWA
facilities.
 Design Brief
• I will make a newsletter with the design cycle method with steps
that is investigate, design, plan, create, and evaluate. The
investigate step is when we collect information for our project. The
next step is design we must design what is the news letter going to
look like by doing designs at paper. Then we must plan our project
step by step so we will not mess up. After that we create the
product based on the design and plan. Finally we evaluate it by
present it to the client to check how is the product if its bad then I
must fix it but if its good then I start to make lots of copies.

 Evaluation specification

• Design 1: This design can be on time cheap and I can use the software easily but this design is not so
functional and durability because this design is not handy at all and its more perfect to do it as poster. It’s
also the design can only have little information, images and also there are no event schedule in it.
• Design 2: This design is too hard to be on time but if I can do this on time this design will be perfect
because it’s handy, functional, and can contain lots of information and images also can contain events
schedule. When we do this its cheap, safe, and can do this easily at the software.
• Design 3: This design can be on time, safe, cheap, and can do it easily with the software. This design can
contain enough info and images. The function not so good to because this news letter also almost like a
poster and there is no event schedule.
• Design 4: This design also cheap, safe, and on time. It can contain lots of info and image with the events
schedule. It’s almost also like a poster and it’s hard to get the logo to the newsletter.
• Design 5: This design it’s also handy can contain lots of information and pictures. It is also cheap, safe,
but a little possibility ti not be on time.
• Design 6: It’s cheap and safe but its only can contain little info, not handy, little image, and its too hard to
use the soft ware.
