Create a holiday newsletter with Pages or iPhoto
The holiday season is upon us, and for many folks it’s become tradition to include a family newsletter with their greeting cards. It’s a great way to share photos, family milestones, and yearly retrospectives with your loved ones.
Happily, putting together a holiday newsletter is a snap using the apps included with your Mac. You can use both Pages and iPhoto to create simple, elegant newsletters to include with your mailings. (Both are also available on the Mac App Store for $20 and $15 respectively.)
Pages
Although Pages hasn’t received a major update in a few years, it’s an excellent, easy-to-use page-layout program that is loaded with great built-in templates.
Step 1: Choose a template Choose File -> New From Template Chooser; then, when the Template Chooser appears, look to the left column and click Newsletters. You’re then presented with a number of great templates which will serve as a starting point for your own newsletter. I’ll select the first template, called Informal Newsletter, for this example. It’s a family-oriented design that’s easy to customize.
