My friend, Nima, is opening a Persian restaurant called Persepolis. It is open 7 days a week at 12:00pm to 2:00am. It is located in North West London. Unfortunately, Nima has broken his arm in an accident and has asked me to help him out with designing his business cards and menus. He wants the business cards to look flashy and posh and he wants the menus to be simple but sophisticated with logos on both the business card and the menus. He also wants to create flyers but I don’t think that’s a good idea because people will just look at them and throw them away which is wasting paper but Nima said he wants to advertise his restaurant as much as possible. Before I design the menus, flyers and business cards, I will first be drawing them out by hand. To achieve these tasks I intend to use a desktop publishing application, as it is the ideal piece of software. It is ideal because it has graphics and text manipulation may be implemented for the invention. I am going to use desktop publishing because it is installed on the school network, and I also have it at home. Desktop publishing is suitable as the program has features such as Word Art, which manipulates text, which will be very useful, in order to highlight key phrases or information. Images can also be imported easily from Clip Art, from scanned images or from the internet, thus making the appearance of the menu more attracted and clearer to understand instantly. Desktop publishing allows me to edit the size, colour or font of the text and insert images. It also supports layering facility, which text can be placed in front of images, and is also able to rotate and re-position text and images. I could also draw a picture in paint or another similar program and then insert it into desktop publishing.

To solve this problem, I will need a computer I can access to at home and at school. I will also need a laser coloured printer to print out my final product in good quality, a scanner to scan in any images or pictures required and also a digital camera to take pictures and use them as images for the menu or business card. I will also need a modem so ...
