Here is a 193-word essay about my experience in 21st CCSHS Foundation Day: The 21st CCSHS Foundation Day was an exciting event that I will always remember. It was the first time I stepped foot on campus as an official student of the school. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the energy and school spirit in the air. The opening ceremony was very inspiring. The school leaders and teachers welcomed us and shared the vision and values of CCSHS. I was proud to be part of such a prestigious institution with a rich history of academic excellence. Various student organizations and clubs also introduced themselves during the ceremony. It gave me a glimpse of all the opportunities available to get involved in campus life.

INDESIGN VOCABULARY

• Extension • Panel
• Frame • Path
• Link • PDF
• Master page • Place
• Package • Stroke
• Pane • Thread
• Extension: A piece of software that loads into InDesign and becomes
part of it, adding more capabilities.
• Frame: The container for an object, whether text, graphic, or color
fill.
• Link: The connection that InDesign makes to an imported file. The
link contains the file’s location, last modification date, and last
modification time. A link can reference any image or text file that you
have imported into a layout. InDesign can notify you when a source
text or graphics file has changed, so you can choose whether to
update the version in your layout. (A hyperlink, often also abbreviated
to link in casual conversation, connects elements in a Web page to
other Web pages or other resources such as PDF files.)
• Master page: A template within a layout that contains elements that you want to
occur on any page that is based on that master page. For example, a specific
master page might contain page numbers and the standard text frame for body
text, so when you add new pages to the document based on this specific master
page, those new document pages automatically include the page numbers and
standard text frames.
• Package: The collection of all files needed to deliver a layout for commercial
printing. InDesign has a package feature that collects all these files for you.
• Pane: A section of a dialog box or panel whose options change based on the set
of controls you’ve selected in the dialog box or panel.
• Panel: A container for controls that stays on-screen even when you aren’t using it
(in contrast to a dialog box, which appears only while you are using it). Panels can
be docked to the right edge of the screen or free-floating. Panels can be
combined into a single container called a panel group.
• Path: A shape in which the endpoint and start point are separate, keeping
the shape open. Lines are a straight type of path.
• PDF: The Adobe Portable Document Format is the standard for electronic
documents. No matter what kind of computer it is viewed on (Windows,
Macintosh, Palm, or Unix), a PDF document retains high fidelity to the
original in typography, graphics representation, and layout. InDesign can
place PDF files as if they were graphics and export its own pages as PDF
files.
• Place: To import a graphics file or text file.
• Stroke: The outline of an object (whether a frame, a line, or an individual
text character).
• Thread: The links between text frames that route stories among them.
