HEALTH-RISKS OF PASSIVE SMOKING

  • I am writing a magazine about health-risks of Second-hand smoking.

  • I am doing this for a healthy magazine run by my local community so they can use it as a advertising to warn the public about Environmental Tobacco Smoke. We decide to do this after a recent survey showed a dramatic increase of non-smokers who suffer from tobacco related illnesses.

  • My aim is to produce large document which covers all the information that people will need to help fight this problem.

  • I could have done this work by using a manual system like rulers, pens, papers, calculators but that will be too much work and time consuming, and I wont also have the advantage of having different font styles.

  • I will use a computer to do this because it will cut down the amount of time I need to finish my work by putting my data once, and being able to delete those parts that I feel are not worth putting in my work without having to rewrite the whole thing again, which I would’ve done if I was using manual system.

  • My goal is to Produce a very user friendly magazine with lots of pictures and rich text
  • Use accurate and up to date information
  • Provide alternative solution to the problem by giving proven methods of combating the problem.



ANALYSE

I am writing a magazine for an anti smoking agency, it’s about educating people of the dangers of second hand smoking, or involuntary smoking.

This report will consist of information that I have gathered from different sources,

I believe passing this important information to the public will teach them great deal about the risk of involuntary smoking. And I will also write about ways they can prevent these dangers from themselves using methods other communities have used and are proven to be successful.

As my essay will mostly consist of text, I have chosen Word Process 2000 because of the facilities it can offer such as;

  • Inserting Pictures and symbols
  • Using different font styles and sizes
  • Using Word count
  • Inserting page numbers and date
  • Inserting tables
  • Mail merging
  • Putting paragraphs & Page numbers
  • Putting back ground colours

I thought about using other soft-ware like Excel 2000. but that soft-ware only consists of rows, columns,  calculation  which provides little use for my work.

To complete my work I need some hard-wares such as:

  • Printer
  • Scanner
  • Monitor
  • Keypad
  • CPU
  • Mouse

To collect my information I will search the internet and the local health magazines for information. I will also pay a visit to the local hospitals and talk to the doctors, and also meet the patients them selves to get more facts.

I will put all that the data I collected in my computer hard disk, and also keep the original hand written papers in a safe place.

After I have concluded my research I will extract the parts that are useful for may work.

Since the data will b mainly text I will use a package that has a different formatting options.

INPUT

Before my data is input it will need to be checked to make sure it is comprehensible and easy to follow.

Once my data is input I will use my chosen software to prepare my finished work.
