For some years now our main DTP assignment on the course has been a two-fold A4 size leaflet.  For examples follow these links -

This year, we’re considering a children’s story book(let).  A possible format is 200mm square, printed double sided and stapled together.  As well as the story, the centre spread might incorporate a ‘how a torch works’ technical diagram (utilising renderings and technical drawings created in Pro/Engineer).

We anticipate that our pupils will take photographs of each other using their ‘thematic’ objects (such as torches, shavers, kitchen gadgets etc) and then paint on top of the images in Gimp.  The digital paintings will illustrate a simple story written by the pupil.
