1. Participatory news
“Then we [you, the reader, and I, the author] come together to make
this book, to feel this experience.”
“Writing and reading are not that distinct for the writer..”
-Conversations with Toni Morrison
For news curation, one of many ways to success is to personalize the
news and include reactions that would entail more reactions.

20. 30 examples of logo tutorials
• http://designscrazed.org/photoshop-logo-design-tutorials/
• Step by step.
Step 1
• Open a new Photoshop file that is 8 by 10 wide with high image resolution settings (300 dpi or higher).
Although you will rarely use a logo this size, quality is retained when shrinking. You can not enlarge small
files without losing quality.
Step 2
• Select the Text Tool from the left palette designated with a "T" in the box. Center the cursor and type in the
company name. Adjust the fonts through the font palette that appears in the upper right corner with the
Text Tool to play with font types, sizes and colors until you are happy with the way the company name looks.
Step 3
• Create a new layer by selecting "New Layer" from the drop-down menu along the top of the program. You
will want to create a new layer for each step; this gives you the ability to move or change certain elements
while keeping others. Keep track of layers in the box on the lower right side of the screen--the bold item is
the layer you are working on with any item that has an "eye" icon next to it is seen on the screen.

21. Step 4
• Type a title for your logo in the new layer using the Text Tool once
again. Use the font palette to change the font, length and height--for
example, stretching the title.
Step 5
• Import any graphic designs or pictures you have royalty free rights to
and want to use in the logo. You can find images from stock footage
libraries or clip art files. If you have no artwork yet, you can "draw" it
into a new layer using any of the following tools: Pencil, Shape or
Paintbrush.

22. Step 6
• Move elements from each layer around on the logo by clicking on the layer
menu on the lower right and selecting the layer you want to work on. You
can link layers by clicking on the box under the chain link icon or only view
the layer you are working on by clicking on the eye icon to remove it from
view.
Step 7
• Add effects, such as bevels, shadows, or color gradients. Use the Effects tab
on the drop-down menu at the top of the screen to choose the effects you
want to try. A preview will be given before the change is made
permanently.
Step 8
• Save your file as a *.psd and a*.jpg . The *.psd is your original Photoshop
file with all layers; keep this so you can make changes at a later point if you
want to. The *.jpg is a combined file with all element layers combined into
one making it a smaller file easier to email to print shops.
