Final Project Work
For my character, George “Double G” Glekas, I decided to create three social media platforms on which he will post in order to develop the narrative of my story:
LinkedIn Profile
Facebook Profile
Twitter Profile
The Baltimore Times
This week going through the DS106 assignment bank to find appropriate assignments for my character’s narrative, I came across the design assignment Newspaper Design (3 stars). I thought this assignment would be perfect for telling my character’s story in an informative article. I decided to make the front page story of the newspaper, which I called The Baltimore Times. By reading the front-page article, you will see that there has been some bigger (and more dangerous) things going on with the cargo smuggling operations. Is it The Greek?

To do this assignment, I opened up a blank Word document and formatted it to be landscape. I felt that Word would be easier to organize the layout and add text because it has the handy “Insert Shape” and “Text Box” tools. I decided to include a missing persons section at the bottom of the page. I also modeled the front page after what’s usually included on the front page of a newspaper.
