CLO: I will explore the tools of indesign by creating a menu and referencing the tutorial and discussion creative decisions with peers. Find a menu you would like to recreate. You may add colorful headings, pics, logos etc. The text should be used from here. You may crate your own but it will be a lot of typing. When you find a menu you like copy, cut & paste it into a word .doc. You will use InDesign to set up the templet. Be sure you select the correct size for your amount of text. You may also download fonts & photos you need. (or take your own) Use the logo given if you are recreating a real restaurant. Have fun with it. Be creative. Requirements: Choose one style Single Front & Back Double Folded in half F&B Trifold Folded F&B Include Creative elements: fonts, prices, clip art or photos Name of restaurant/logo Address & phone number Size: 8.5 x 11 or 11x17

CLO: I will research how tools work in INDesign by referencing tutorial and creating a creative resume, while discussing design decisions with peers What is a creative resume?In a competitive job market, creative resumes are a great way to show off your design skills and stand out from other applicants. Unfortunately, they're also a great way to annoy recruiters who are attempting to sift through hundreds of other resumes. When it comes down to it, it really just depends on the situation. Where Are You Applying? Creative resumes certainly aren't for everyone. Are you applying to a graphic design firm, a funky art gallery, or an uber-hip ad agency? Then yes, they might appreciate an eye-catching, well-designed resume that reflects your unique personality. Are you applying to be a pharmacist, an accountant, or a bank manager?Chances are, hiring managers will appreciate a traditional resume that gets straight to the point: your professional experience. Most importantly, follow instructions. If they ask for a basic resume in 12-point font, don't send them a hand-lettered masterpiece. The Key(word) to Success One of the biggest risks of using a creative resume isn't annoying an over-worked recruiter. Nope, it has to do with a little something called an Applicant Tracking System. A lot of companies now use these programs to screen the first round of resumes, and it's not uncommon for flashy, complicated resumes to be disregarded before any humans even lay eyes on them. Be sure to use relevant keywords in any kind of resume you use, and try to make them easy to pick up on. It never hurts to submit a basic resume in addition to your creative resume, particularly when applying online. Get to the Point If you do decide to submit a creative resume, remember that it's not a total free-for-all -- you should still abide by some basic resume-writing rules.Most importantly, information should be presented in a clear, concise, easy-to-read format. It shouldn't take recruiters five minutes to figure out your name because you wrote it in some hard-to-read font. Most people will spend no more than 60 seconds looking at a resume, so be sure that they can get the gist in that amount of time. Some other things to keep in mind:
