Assignment: Unit 3 analyzes the different ways you can adapt
the environment to meet the needs of the children in your class.
When designing your environment, it is important to keep in
mind the skills that the children in your group are learning and
have mastered. The way you arrange your classroom and the
materials you fill it with can have a big impact on the kinds of
play and learning opportunities you provide to your students.
For your assignment, use the developmental milestone chart, the
unit readings, and the four classroom models to complete the
chart below.

Monthly Newsletter Issue 12Marketing and Color
Color plays a significant role in selling products and services. It
directs your eye where to look, shows similarities and
differences, and even indicates how to interpret a message.
Color helps you decide what is important, appealing, and
worthwhile. In the recent study, Impact of Color in Marketing,
researchers found that nearly all consumer impulse purchases
are based on color. The color of a logo can enhance a brand if it
fits the product type, which is called alignment. For example,
lime green is appropriate for a fun, trendy product, such as a
mobile chatting app, but not a serious, stable product, such as
insurance. As you prepare to launch your business or new
product, consider the colors you are using in your company logo
and product or service branding. Color Meanings
Colors have emotional and cultural meanings. Although people
react to specific colors based on their background and
experiences, most people associate colors with certain qualities.
All colors have both positive and negative associations.
In a recent study, people were asked to choose a color they
associated with particular words:
Trust: 34% chose blue, followed by 21% for white and 11% for
green.
Speed: Red was the favorite by a wide margin (76%).
Fear: 41% said they associate red with fear, while 38% chose
black.

5. Fun: Most people chose orange (28%), followed closely by
yellow (26%) and purple (17%).
Cheapness: Orange may be fun, but 26% of people associated
orange with cheapness.
Security: Most people chose blue (28%), followed by 16% for
black and 12% for green.
Reliability: Blue was also the top choice for reliability with
43%. Next was black with 24%.
Be sure to consider the context in which you are using
color.Context of Color
Although you can make some broad generalizations about color,
it’s more effective to make sure people are interpreting your
brand’s colors in context. For example, in the Color Psychology
and Color Therapy study, green isn’t strongly associated with
any color. If you want to signal environmental awareness,
however, green is the obvious choice. That said, if everyone in
your market is using green, choosing a different color such as
sky blue sets you apart from the pack. Color depends on the
context in which you use it.

ensure that your first and last name is displayed in the footer.
If the footer does not display your name, delete the file and
download a new copy from the SAM website.
PROJECT STEPS
You are developing a newsletter for the Springfield Business
Incubator, which provides advice, office space, and other
support to start-up businesses.
Start formatting the newsletter by turning on automatic
hyphenation for the document to fit as much text as possible on
each line.
To increase the visual appeal of the newsletter, add a page
border as follows:
Add a Box page border to the document.
Use the thin outer line and thick inner line Art border setting

7. (15th option from the end of the Art list).
Apply the Teal, Accent 4 color (8th column, 1st row of the
Theme Colors palette).
Create a nameplate for the newsletter as follows:
Move the insertion point to the blank paragraph before
“Monthly Newsletter”, and then insert WordArt using the Fill –
Aqua, Accent 1, Shadow option from the WordArt gallery.
(Hint: Depending on your version of Office, the WordArt may
display as Fill: Aqua, Accent color 1; Shadow instead.)
Type Springboard as the WordArt text.
Format the WordArt shape as follows so it fills the space at the
top of the newsletter:
Change the text wrapping to Top and Bottom.
Resize the WordArt to a height of 1.4" and a width of 7".
To make the nameplate more eye-catching, apply the following
formatting to the WordArt text:
Change the font to Century Schoolbook.
Change the font size to 72 pt.
Change the text fill color by applying the Radial Gradient -
Accent 5 preset gradient fill color (5th column, 5th row of the
Preset gradient gallery). (Hint: Display the Text Options tab in
the Format Shape task pane.)
Change the gradient Stop 2 and Stop 4 colors to Teal, Accent 4,
Darker 25% (8th column, 5th row of the Theme Colors palette).
Change the text outline color to Purple, Accent 5, Darker 25%
(9th column, 5th row of the Theme Colors palette).
Apply the Wave 2 text effect (2nd column, 5th row in the Warp
section of the Transform gallery). (Hint: Depending on your
version of Office, the text effect may display as Wave: Up
instead.)
Incorporate the SBI logo picture into the nameplate as follows:
Crop the picture to remove only the dark red outline.
Change the picture color to Purple, Accent color 5 Light from
the Recolor section of the Color gallery.
Change the text wrapping style to Behind Text.

8. Rotate the picture to the left as shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: Picture Placement
Separate the article from the issue information paragraph as
follows:
Apply a custom bottom border to the issue information
paragraph (“Monthly Newsletter Issue 12”) using the solid
bottom, gradient top border style (4th style from the bottom).
Change the color of the border to Teal, Accent 4 (8th column,
1st row of the Theme Colors palette).
Move the insertion point to the beginning of the first body
paragraph (“Color plays…service branding.”), and then insert a
Continuous section break to prepare for setting the article text
in columns.
Apply a newsletter format to the new section as follows:
Display the text in three columns.
Change the column width to 2.1".
Change the alignment of the article text as follows to use
newspaper-style columns:
Change the alignment of the first body paragraph (“Color
plays…service branding.”) to Justify.
With the insertion point in the first body paragraph, update the
Article Text Style to match the current selection.
To insert a pull quote, move the insertion point to the beginning
of the first body paragraph (“Color plays…service branding.”),
and then insert a text box:
Insert the Simple Text Box.
Enter the following text into the text box:
Color helps you decide what is important, appealing, and
worthwhile.
Format the text box to make it more noticeable and attractive:
Apply the Colored Fill – Purple, Accent 5 shape style.
Format the text using the Text Box paragraph style.

9. Resize the text box to a height of 1" and a width of 1.75".
Change the text wrapping around the text box to Tight.
Move the text box to the right so that it appears between
columns 1 and 2, as shown in Figure 2 on the next page. The
text wrapping does not need to match the figure exactly.
Figure 2: Text Box Placement
To include a professional typeface element, add a drop cap as
follows:
Format the first letter after the “Marketing and Color” heading
(the “C” in “Color”) as a drop cap using the Dropped style.
Change the color of the drop cap to Teal, Accent 4 (8th column,
1st row of the Theme Colors palette).
At the beginning of the “Context of Color” paragraph, insert a
Column break to make sure the heading appears at the top of
column 3 even if you edit the text in columns 1 and 2.
To complete the SmartArt graphic in column 3, add a shape to
the bottom of the graphic with the following text:
