|=> My daughter has to create a simple invitation for her
|=> senior art show in
|=> high school. I thought it might be educational for me and
|=> for her to
|=> try to do it in latex. We've already done it in
|=> OpenOffice.org, but it
|=> involved a lot of manual dragging of frames here and there
|=> and took a
|=> long time to get a less-than-perfect layout.
|=>
|=> The invitations are to be approx 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches, laid out
|=> side-by-side on letter paper, in "2-up" fashion, so they can be cut
|=> apart into two separate invitations. So far that's easy.
|=>
|=> On the back of the text, there is to be an image of one of
|=> her pieces of
|=> artwork. It is supposed to occupy almost all of the back
|=> side, save for
|=> a small margin all around. We scanned one of her B&W
|=> photos into an
|=> image file (currently jpg, but we could convert it to just about
|=> anything.) The thing I'm finding difficult is centering
|=> the image so
|=> that it aligns with the centered text on the front side, so
|=> that when we
|=> cut them in two, both text and image will be in the center (in all
|=> directions) of their respective now-half-sized sheets of paper.
|=>
|=> What is the best latex way to do this? So far, I have
|=> experimented with
|=> the booklet package.
|=>
|=> Thanks.
