- Grandma Baker has a new computer and she wants to show her grandkids just how cool grandma really is (they think she wouldn't even have a clue how to spell computer much less use one!). So Grandma Baker is going to make "Back to School" greeting cards for all the grandkids (she might even tuck in a few dollars as a Back to School gift). Since she is new to computers and desktop publishing she wants to design one basic card that will work for all nine grandkids -- ages 15 to 7, boys and girls. She's going to print them from her color inkjet printer.
Based on this description (or your own scenario) and your own equipment -- software and hardware -- how would you answer these questions?
- Who is the intended audience for this card?
- What is the purpose of this card?
- What are the limitations on production?
Thinking ahead, what type of card do you envision? Bright colors? Simple text, a poem or quotation maybe? Pictures of school books and blackboards, perhaps? How about a photograph of Grandma from her own schooldays?
