Adobe InDesign CC Project
Wacky Water Slidz

For this project, assume you are the office manager for a new business in your town—Wacky Water Slidz, a water park that has something for everyone. Before you begin, create a logo to represent your business, choose a water park address/phone number, decide on a list of attractions (with creative names), and decide on passes (Youth, Senior Citizen, Adult, Family Season Pass, etc.). Have fun with this project! You will complete four required items and there are four optional—choose two of those (either the A or B for each choice).
