Optional Father’s Day Gift

Check your email for template to create metal plaque.  Do not move the black border nor the fine line around it.  You may format only the color of the black border, but not its thickness.  Insert a high resolution jpeg picture of you and your Dad within the black border from a digital camera, not camera phone, since the pixels aren’t as good and will result in a slightly fuzzy transfer.  Stretch jpeg out and crop it to fit the space accordingly.  Overlap any text of your choice with a loving message to your Dad using a good, legible font/color.  If you import clip art from Google Images make sure you select size Large for good resolution.  You could also use the space to create a collage of you and your dad – be creative.  The final product will measure 8”x10” portrait and will be sublimated onto aluminum metal.  Email your PPTX to stsimon56@gmail.com  Cost 10$  I will have them ready on Friday. 

Read-a-thon money is due Monday.
