Music Fest

You can follow my example and do singers/bands for a music festival, or you can change the text and focus on something else like tv shows or video games.

Table & Text

Change the title if you are not doing a music festival.

Click on the empty line below and go to Insert > Table … drag out to 3×4

In the first row, add the times (or other categories for your topic).

In the first column, add the dates in all caps (or other categories for your topic).

Add singers in the empty table cells, but first [Enter] so you have an empty line for the pictures.

Make sure there is an empty line before each singer.

Format Text

Select everything on the page and set the default font type to Britannic Bold, size 20.

Select the page heading and pump up the size to 36.

Select the first row and pump it up to size 26.

Select the first column and pump it up to size 26 as well.

Your text should look like this so far…
