PROJECT 2: WEDDING PROGRAM
You only have 5 seconds to capture a reader’s attention!
Description
For this job, I need you to create a wedding program for an upcoming wedding ceremony from scratch (no templates of any form allowed)! Create a 1-page, double-sided, single-fold, wedding program, using a recent version of InDesign (CS5 or higher) or "approved" alternate electronic publishing software (contact me if you are not sure). You must submit the completed project file to your Assignments Folder in our CMST 310 LEO Classroom, following the directions included below:
In order to design a single-fold wedding program properly, you will have to create a 2-page document. Because there is a fold in the middle, it divides the page into two panels per page. It is very critical that you setup the program correctly, or it will not print properly.
Note on the first page, you’ll have the Front Cover of the program, but it is placed on the far right panel (Panel 1). The Back Cover is placed on the far left. Placing the content in this order will unsure that the program prints properly when folded.
Page 2 (seen below) is printed on the back of Page 1. The Inside Page, Panel 2 is directly behind Page 1, Panel 1, once the design is printed in duplex. The panels are laid out as follows:
Page 1, Panel 1: Front Cover (Location, Time, Date, Photo of Bride and Groom only)
Page 1, Panel 2: Back Cover (Acknowledgments only)
Page 2, Panel 2: Inside Left (Wedding Ceremony only)
Page 2, Panel 3: Inside Right (Wedding Party only)
You can always test your work by printing double sided. If your printer does not print double-sided, you can create a work around by printing Page 1, then placing Page 1 back in the printer and the print Page 2.
You will not be submitting a double-sided document, just both Page 1 and Page 2 in one InDesign file. I will print your work double-sided to make sure it aligns properly.
Here is a sample of the design you will be creating. You are free to use your own creativity, but you must not deviate from the four panel layout and you must use ALL of the content provided.
PAGE 1 (Cover and Acknowledgements Panels)
PAGE 2 (Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Party Panels)
Program Content
The program content (time, place, and order of events) are supplied by your client can be downloaded below (see the attached MS Word document). Place the files into InDesign and format it properly.
Wedding Program Content
*** YOU HAVE TO USE THE CONTENT THAT THE CLIENT PROVIDED (SEE ATTACHMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST called cmst310p2weddingprogram-2019v1.doc ***
You will have to format the text in a number of ways (font selection, font size, leading, editing, and columns if desired) to ensure readability. Please use LEADER DOTS where the client has used dots to separate content (The Wedding Party Panel as well as The Wedding Ceremony Panel). Please do not delete any content or you will lose points (you should never delete content a client provides you unless you discuss it with them beforehand).
Wedding Program Design Ideas
Using your favorite search engine (Yahoo, Google, etc) do a search on Wedding Programs and study the different formats and designs you find. I’m sure several will inspire you in your efforts to create an original design piece.
Submission Requirements

1. Submit a PDF (Portable Document Format) version of your flyer to your Assignments Folder.
2. Submit the original file of your completed work (.indd document if using InDesign).

PROJECT PACKAGING
InDesign’s Package feature places all the resources, including photos, images, clip art, and fonts, used in a document into one centralized folder. It also creates a PDF version of the document, which you need to submit to your Assignments Folder.
