Here are two courses I'd like you to complete during our layout days. My expectation is that you will work on these courses during class and for homework (you can access the website from any computer), and then take some of the practices and principles from these courses and apply them to a design project.
1. Color in News Design
2. Typography for News Design
Once you are done with the courses, here's the next step:

Create a label for the MA Honey. That's right, the honeybee folks have harvested a bunch of tasty, delicious honey and now the jars need some art. Fun. I know.
Size/Shape: Oval 2.5" long by 1.5" high for front. 2" x 2" square for back of jar.
Copy: Marin Academy, Honey, Harvested March 2010 from the MA apiary by Club, Apiary is managed and by the MA Beekeeping Club, Raw (unheated), Local (from nearby wildflowers and the MA garden),
Graphics and design: up to you. Maybe a wildcat-honeybee? Sunflower? Honeycomb? Go wild. Just remember copyright laws .... we can't steal images.
Keep in mind: How are you going to split up the information from front to back? How are you going to prioritize the information? Create an information hierarchy; the most important info goes at the top.
You can create the designs on one InDesign document, just make sure each element fits the required size. Good luck. Have fun!
