Extensions

In this extension, you will add Word Art to your flyer.

Word Art is a tool that changes the appearance of text.

It transforms basic text into a combination of text and art and can capture more people’s attention.

To begin, open the flyer you created in the main lesson.

Next, choose a word or phrase that you want to emphasize.

Using Word Art for the text will set it apart from the rest of the text and make it stand out.

Delete the text that you will be making into Word Art, And add the text back to your flyer as Word Art.

Move the Word Art to replace the deleted text and adjust its size.

Then, format the Word Art as you would with regular text by choosing a font and color.

Finally, add and format a border to outline the letters and make them stand out more from the background.

Now, it’s your turn: Add Word Art, And resize and format the Word Art.

After your flyer is complete, it’s important to get it to the people who might attend your Juneteenth celebration.

In the main lesson, you learned that you can share the flyer...

Or download it as a PDF, print it out, and hang it up in your community.

You can also attach the PDF to an email, which is what you’ll learn how to do in this extension.

Then, you can send the email to someone you want to invite to your Juneteenth celebration.

To begin, open Gmail...

...And create a new message.

Then, type the email address of the people you wish to send the flyer to.

Add a subject line so the person reading it knows what the email is about.

Next, type a message to the recipient telling them about your Juneteenth celebration.

You don’t need to write a lot of text about the event since you’ll be attaching the flyer to the email.

To add your flyer as an email attachment, first download it as a PDF if you didn’t already do that in the main lesson.

Then, attach the PDF to the email.

Let your recipient know you’ve attached a file in the body of your email...

...And add a closing.

Finally, send the email.

Now, it’s your turn: Create a new email message, Download your flyer as a PDF, Attach the flyer to the email, And send the email.

In the main lesson, you added text, images, colors, and shapes to your flyer to give your audience information and make the flyer appealing to look at.

In this extension, you will add a quotation from Google Arts & Culture to your flyer.

A quotation is a group of words that are taken from someone else.

Including a quotation can make your flyer more personal and interesting to read.

To begin, open the flyer you created in the main lesson.

Then, in a new browser tab, navigate to g.co/arts.

Search for “Juneteenth” in the Search bar, And click on “The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth.” If you already listed a quotation in your planning document, you may want to use it in your flyer.

If not, explore Google Arts& & Culture for a quotation that inspires you.

It could be about Juneteenth itself or something related to what it means.

You can look for a quotation in the text or within an image, like one from an old newspaper.

Next, look at your flyer and decide where the quotation would best fit.

You may need to delete text, an image, or a shape to make room for your quotation, but be sure not to delete anything important people would need to know about your celebration.

Then, add a text box where you would like to put the quotation, And type the text exactly as written.

Add quotation marks before and after the text to attribute the quote to someone else.

Next, provide attribution, or credit, to the source of the quotation.

Finally, format the text the way you want it to look.

Now, it’s your turn: Use your planning document or Google Arts & Culture to get a quotation, Delete text, images, or shapes from your flyer if you need more room, Add a text box to your flyer, Add the quotation to your flyer, And format the text.
