[nabs-l] Designing Promotional Material

[Niall Gallagher]

Thank you very much Cindy, Ashley, and Jorge for your helpful advice and suggestions.
I have conducted some research on the internet, and I think I will use Microsoft Word with a three column page layout. 
I will have access to a reader at all times during this activity. 
I have seen some designs online which I will have my reader describe, and I will take inspiration from those. 
Also, seeing as I will be promoting an existing service in my college, I will analyze some common trends in other designs used in the college's promotional material.

Thank you once again, and any further information is always welcome.

Kindest regards,

Niall

There is no excuse for microsoft publisher being inaccessible. I t could be tagged to describe the images and we then could create basic cards, flyers, and callendars with it.
