“Dear InDesign 2 Students,

The InDesign 2 book project will be something that you will be extremely proud of when finished. At least that was my impression of my fellow Fall InDesign 2 classmates.

Sooooo...Collect your content quickly, because the challenging part of the class is learning the technical side of the InDesign 2 book making process. In my mind, the process is what the project is all about... along with the reading of class reading assignments, not the content. That is where many students get bogged down, on the content, myself included. I encounted at lot of CRASH-AND-BURN time (Trial & Error). Decide early what your book will be about. Adhere to the K.I.S.S. factor...Keep it Simple Stupid! After you learn the technique of book-making, you can go Zonkers with your content.

Remember these InDesign terms...TEMPLATES, MASTER PAGES, PARAGRAPH STYLES, CHARACTER STYLES, OBJECT STYLES. Learn them quickly, understand them thoroughly! These terms will help you immensely!

When you finish the book process, you will be very proud of yourself!

On another note: I thought having the get-together at THE LAST DAY SALOON on the last day of class was fun! I would have liked to have a few more of those during the semester. I found it helpful to hear the war stories that the other students had with their book process. I just like to have fun meeting the other class students!”

History of New Orleans

1766 to take control, they rebelled, driving him to Spain. On October 25, 1769 Alexander O’Reilly, an Irish-born Spanish general arrived with 24 warships, 2,000 soldiers, and 50 artillery pieces. He executed six ringleaders of the rebellion at the site of the Old Mint and firmly established Spanish power.

The colony did not prosper and control was turned over to a Scotsmen named John Law. He was a private financier and speculator. He floated stock in his Company of The West and promoted Louisiana as a utopia despite the hostile natives and diseased climate. Thousands of Germans and Swiss left for Louisiana. Whenever immigration to the new colony diminished, criminals and prostitutes were deported from France to New Orleans. The first slaves arrived in 1726. A year later the Ursuline Sisters arrived and established their convent.

Eventually, Law’s Company of The West collapsed, and in 1731 control was resumed by the French king. Commerce began to grow despite restrictions imposed by the French on trade. By 1763, river traffic had grown enormously with exports totaling $304,000. Then in 1755 the Seven Years’ war erupted.

In1763, the war ended and Louis XV signed the Treaty of Paris, which ended the French ambitions in North America. But before signing, the French king ceded Louisiana to his cousin the Spanish king, Charles III. This outraged French settlers. When Spanish governor Don Antonio de Ulloa arrived in

Original Project ProposalChapters:

Chapter 1: History of the city.•

Chapter 2: My first trip in July 2004.•

Chapter 3: My second trip in Oct. 2004.•

Chapter 4: Hurricane Katrina 2005.•

Chapter 5: My trip in July 2007 .•

Content:

I will be creating all of the content with pictures from my visits. I will also incorporate some graphics that I found online pertaining to the storm. Also first hand accounts from my friends

that survived Katrina.

Design Elements:

I have yet to decide which fonts I will use. However, I do know

that my colors will be traditional Mardi Gras colors of yellow, green and purple. I’m sure I will of course have several different layout styles. That’s just how I am. Sky’s the limit for me.

Goal of my Book:

To remind people of what a great city New Orleans is and not to forget about the people who survived the storm. Once news in our country gets averted to other stories, Americans tend to forget about what happened.

Why I chose my project:

I chose my project on my travels to New Orleans, before and after Hurricane Katrina. I have traveled there three times and actually had a plane ticket for August 30, 2005-the day after Katrina hit the city.

When visiting the city for the first time I fell in love with the culture, the architecture and the food. It was an all day party in the city of New Orleans!

My book will chronicle both of my travels in 2004 and recently in July of this year. It will also have stories from survivors who survived the storm and how it affects their lives.

During the American Revolution, Governor Bernardo de Galvez supported the American settlers and relaxed trade restrictions. In 1788, a fire on Good Friday destroyed 856 buildings. A second fire broke out in 1794 destroying 212 buildings. The Great Fires of New Orleans was so extensive that most of the French-style buildings were lost. After the fires, all buildings of two stories or more were to be constructed of brick. The three most impressive buildings in New Orleans—St. Louis

Chapter X1

In 1682, Frenchmen Robert de La Salle sailed the Mississippi River and erected a cross somewhere near the location of New Orleans. He claimed Louisiana for his king, Louis XIV.

The first French settlements were established on the Gulf Coast at Biloxi. Thirty-six years later, Jean Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville established a settlement on the Lower Mississippi River at New Orléans. It was named for Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, who was Regent of France at the time. In September 1721 a hurricane struck the city, blowing most of the structures down. After this, the administrators enforced the grid pattern dictated by Bienville but mostly ignored by the colonists. This grid would be known as the French Quarter. In 1722, Nouvelle-Orléans was made the capital of French Louisiana, replacing Biloxi in that role. Joseph Villars Dubreuil, a pioneer in agriculture built the first plantaion levee. It led to the creation in 1724 of the Mississippi River’s original levee system.

Sample Pages from Shannon Cavanaugh’s book on New Orleans

“My advice for your next class is to finish the project well ahead of time to allow for those last-minute printer problems that so many of us encountered”

Sharon Beckman

“Tell them to start compiling the content for the book early. It'll leave them more time to work on their book's layout.

Also, pay particular attention in the templates and master pages lectures. Those will save you when it comes time to start building the chapters.

Finally, tell them to challenge themselves in the home-work assignments. The more you play with InDesign, the more the skills will stick in your mind and you'll be able to use it for the tests and the book.”

— Teresa Ehteshami

“My advice would be to keep things simple and trust InDesign for the fabulous abilities it has; lead by that cre-ative hands of its composer, You.

Take your Time Line Lab serious and follow it, even if you change your mind about your books content. Tem-plates are your most important tool and don't be afraid of the Table of Contents and your Index. Once I got the hang of generating entries, the Index was kind of fun, but give yourself a lot of time.

Creating a book was a tremendous amount of work but with Cyndi's help we laughed along the way. And isn't anything in life that we end up feeling really good about been a production of intense labor and love. Holding your completed book in your hands, while being quite proud of, is the best feeling.

Cyndi Reese, Thank You for the unforgettable journey. “

“Having used lulu, I think the thing that helped me the most was not just getting information from the website, but taking the time to use their live chat to really figure out how lulu likes the files to be prepared. If I had gotten over my “chicken-ry”, and just done this early on...it would have saved me alot of time in preparing my files for upload.

Making my hand made version was not only a necessity (otherwise known as plan F!), but it allowed me to really seek out issues, potential issues etc...so I think I would rec-ommend making an almost life size version of the final version to edit...until then the thumbnail versions were great at figuring out the flow and layout...but seeing all the text, and pg. numbering on it’s own little page was invaluable to me, and it inspired me to make yet another version (life-sized) to give to the granddaughter whose grand-father was the birdman of Birdland.

Thank you Cyndi, I will miss not having my brain pepped up by you and your class!”

“Two Ps In A Pod” is a memoir worth reading in depth, both for its burnished prose and the startling lives it recounts. — S. Milam

Anyone who has ever picked up a pulp magazine will love this book, as I did. — R. Rozewski

If candy were good for you, it’d be a lot like this book: If you’ve ever had an idea, plan on having one, or have to listen to others’ ideas, pick up a copy today! — S. Claus

I shudder at the very thought of just how cumbersome, boring, con-fused, and plain unbearable a book about “reminisces” can be... It’s the perfect topic for long-winded authors who aspire to write into existence a prescription sleep aid of a book. But “Two Ps In A Pod” is none of that: It’s a tour de force; powerful, compelling, and reader-friendly! — P. Bell

Easy-to-read with big fonts and graphics. — Mr. Magoo

This hysterical book is so well done that I can’t imagine it not be-coming a movie. I loved this book and cannot wait to hear more from this author. — Student in Computer Lab

Now she can spend quality time with me again. — Emma

I’m just glad she turned in a project. — C. Reese
