My first experience with using the Microsoft Publisher program (Spoiler: It went well!)
After finishing the last project with McCann Family Chiropractic ( A blog post which you can learn about and read here), we quickly moved forward with our budding professional relationship. How?
I was asked to head up a second project for them: writing copy for their Quarterly Newsletter!
It is currently in print and being circulated to their clients.
This Newsletter was a blast to do, as it involved me learning new skills from scratch that I can apply to my future business endeavors. Namely, how to create and edit documents within the Microsoft Publisher Program.
Up until this point, I only had experience with Word for typing up requested text based projects. For this project, I got to fiddle around with basic graphics.
Microsoft Publisher is now officially in my repertoire of tools I am comfortable with.
I followed the McCann's general template for the Newsletter which has been used for the past two years. I did this so that the product would still be familiar to their reading audience. (You can browse their past Newsletters here.)
Even so, I did need to figure out how to move around and alter elements such as text boxes, images, and guide lines so that the document could be visually appealing to clients while still providing critical information in a less cluttered way. I also decided to subtly use colors within the background boxes and inserted images to naturally distinguish or group together various sections of text for the reader's eye.
I am grateful for the continued business with McCann Family Chiropractic as well as the learning experiences I get to have as I generate content for their company.
