| Publisher 2002 is perhaps the most valuable desktop publishing application you can buy to create and enhance a personal and professional image. In this six-week online course, you will use Publisher to create several exciting projects. After learning the basics of the program, you will be guided by your expert instructor through a variety of projects. You will design and develop a knockout newsletter, publish a Web site to the Internet, and produce a professional brochure. In the process, you'll gain valuable experience in layout techniques, design theory, and making color choices. You'll also discover how to work with a commercial print shop to bring your project to life on paper.
