Find a graphically complex spread in your local newspaper. Make a photocopy
of the graphics package planner on page 188, and, to the best of your ability,
fill it in as if you were planning the spread.
Now use the planner to design your own graphics package, either an imaginary
one (you can get ideas from the poster pages on page 186), or, if you are
working on a design for your paper, a real one.
