West Virginia University Healthy Life Style Professional Newsletter

For this assignment, you will need to create a 2-page newsletter related to your field, to

communicate positively with your “customers”. Your product should reflect your expertise in

your major (Nursing) or be an example of what you might use in your place of employment. For Example,

A fitness newsletter to send to clients or post on your website. It could be a monthly newsletter

which provides different fitness or diet techniques each month, or something related to your

major. Be creative with this assignment as it will be posted on your Website (A11) for potential

employers to see your work. Try to avoid a “How To” type newsletter – save that for the

multimedia project.

1. Create this document from scratch – Do NOT use templates, Microsoft Publisher, or Apple Pages templates.
2. Must be two full pages, no more and no less, in a two-column format. Do not number the pages.
3. A masthead (like a newspaper’s title/masthead) for your newsletter/project using Word Art.
4. A main header describing the topic of your newsletter (like a headline) – this theme should be repeated throughout the newsletter in at least two subheadings. Use a different size, color, alignment and type of font from the text for subheadings. Use subheadings to break up the text into easy to read sections.
5. Text of the newsletter. The information should be well written, accurate, and useful. The text body should be at least 300 words.
6. A table with 6 recommended websites related to your field and/or newsletter/project content. The table should include different column widths, cell shading, font styles, and borders. Cite websites using their title, URL/hyperlink, and a brief description of the website.
7. At least 4 pictures or images. Use formatting as discussed in LinkedIn Learning to position images. Cite the SOURCE of the pictures (see course overview slides and Sample Newsletter for examples).
8. At least 3 text-boxes for image citations, using different sizes, color, alignment and/or type of font.
9. Your name (e.g., “Edited by ___”).
10. When posting your newsletter, briefly describe the purpose of the document (audience it is intended for and what it is intended to communicate to that audience). You can add this information to the “Comments” text box on the Assignment 2 submission page.
