Unit 1d - Create a Memo
Cheers for the flyer, it looks great. This next task is sure to be easy for you. We have a problem passing messages within the office. Let's say I am out of the shop down at the suppliers. When messages come in for me, Liz, who mans the office, will write the note on the nearest piece of paper to hand. It looks a bit of a mess when I get back, and it is difficult to tell which bits of paper are my messages, and what are other bits of paper that I need to deal with. What we need is a memo design, so my messages will stand out clearly. I'll leave it to you. |
