I have acknowledged that I will fail due to my lack of pictures. It is completely my fault and I will suffer the consequences. But InDesign sucked I would have much prefered to have used word or publisher, I will get my retribution on InDesign hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!

I am getting very agitated with 'InDesign'; 'enter' does not do anything at all. I cannot paste from 'Word' properly and I cant change the options on InDesign

Problem

I have a very big problem I have too much text, to make it worse 'InDesign' isint cooperating it wont let me do much I cant even start a new line; when ever i press 'enter' it ignores it so if i make a mistake like delete a line accidently I have to paste everything from 'Word' again so i am not going to even try puting a picture in the middle of my text because it would be way too much of a hastle I was meant to do this according in my concept sketch. But I will still try to stick with my sketch as much as I can if 'InDesign' cooperates; Indesign just sucks.

Progress

I am making definite progress and I have definetly passed everything when it comes to my sources but I realise that i cannot get a merit/excellence because i only used one source. I have really done alot of rewording so I hope I have got an acheived in that area.

Work

I am doing really really well at my work i have finished my article on short term effects and i am 3 quarters done on my long term effects of alcohol. But i am being very pesimestic when it comes to the article due to some of the articles having some positive studies about binge drinking but i am just ignoring these and studies and carying on with the other ones. I have managed to put about 8 pages of work into 1 and a half of my own. But now i need to finish the work on my visual diary.

progress

I am on track at the moment and I am making progress. I am researching 'the dangers of alcohol' and creating my bibliography according to that. But I am getting confused and don't fully know what to do.

Brief

Well as I said before I have to make a 3 page booklet on the dangers of alcohol, I will be making this in InDesign.
I will be targeting teenagers. This must use a style which will attract teenagers. I will use compelling images and modern design with a vocabulary which will target teenagers and maybe some txt langauge, maybe.
I must use information from many sources including the internet, books, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, databases, interviews etc.
I will also write a bibliography on all these sources.

Sam is my subject. He says his style is dark and yet he likes world peace. So I was thinking of darkening his piture and adding the A for anarchy sign and the peace sign. But I dont know what to put for the text and where to put it. I know it will be red as Sams favourite colours are black and red. Still I dont fully know what to do.

From the interview I knew Sam liked peace, but I could also tell he was joking. I need to do a proper interview to gain more knowledge that should help me in my design about Sam.

My design is meant to be about Sam Findlay. According to the interview that we had he described his style as 'dark', he thought the chidren of the world inspired him and he also said that he started design in order to restore world peace. So i thought of using dark silhouettes and peace signs inside those silhouetes
