Tyvarian Brochures for Whitewater, Inc.
Whitewater, Inc. is manufacturing a new project they call "Tyvarian." Whitewater makes two products from Tyvarian: vanity tops and tub/shower surrounds. While creating your brochure, use some/all of the following descriptions of Tyvarian (taken from the Whitewater, Inc. website):
1. Creating beautiful tub and shower wall surrounds has been Whitewater's specialty for decades. When Utah builders and homeowners think of Grout-Free tub and shower wall surrounds like cultured marble, they think of Whitewater. Well now we’ve given cultured marble a facelift, with our new Tyvarian products. Design and style like you’ve never seen before in the bathroom.
2. To give your bathroom a distinctive edge that is both beautiful and practical, choose a tub surround from Whitewater. With a wide selection of colors and easy to clean Grout Free Surfaces, Tyvarian tub surrounds will help you create the bathroom of your dreams. The luxurious look of granite, stone, travertine, limestone, marble, and more than 70 additional colors and styles are now available for your shower at surprisingly low prices.
3. Tyvarian bathtub wall surrounds are made with a new and innovative patent pending technology that incorporates images onto polyester resin. The protective clear topcoat "Tyvarian Skin" encapsulates and protects a high resolution image. The wall surrounds are also UV resistant so you won't have to worry about colors fading over time like other products.
4. Tyvarian vanity tops are an innovative and unique vanity top that will give your bathroom more style, luxury, and value for your dollar than you ever imagined. Tyvarian is a tough, durable, moisture resistant bath vanity top that uses high-resolution digital printing technology to provide an array of colors and styles that have never been available at such affordable prices.
5. Tyvarian vanity tops not only provide more style, they provide a quality product that is much more durable than traditional laminate and even stronger than cultured marble. Tyvarian vanity tops will not delaminate with heat or moisture, they are stain and chemical resistant and they are backed by 3 cm thick MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard). Once you see the colors, styles and price of this beautiful product, you’ll understand why the top builders across Utah are choosing Tyvarian vanity tops over other luxury surfaces.

Book Page Design
February 25 and March 3 Writing Lab Assignment (20 points)
You will have today and next time to design a "Lucy Flake" page for a book I'm hoping to publish. Use what you've learned about alignment, repetition, contrast, and proximity to create a page that's visually attractive and easy to read.
1. Open a Word document, go to File, Page Setup, and put in the following page dimensions: Top (1"); Left (2.05"); Bottom (1"); and Right (2.05").
2. Decide what fonts you're going to use; create a heading that reads Lucy Flake.
3. Insert visuals/photographs of Lucy, Prudence, and Will. Since the visual of Lucy is big, you should crop it (perhaps only keep her head and shoulders).
4. Create captions for the pictures.
5. Using proximity," include the following information on the page: birth/death/marriage dates, number of children.
6. Decide how to present the information about Will Flake--text box? caption?.
7. Extra Credit: Create a small map of Beaver, Utah and Snowflake, AZ so the reader can quickly see where Lucy lived.
