My Hero: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
By Peter Y. Chou |
Preface: William Cavada's online class "LINC 72B: Adobe InDesign" was to create a Poster on a World Hero. A Tutorial was provided on using a circular marquee to place an image of cactus. Next the Type tool was used to type text in the text box. Decided to honor my hero Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). I have two dozen books by and about him, and a dozen pages on Goethe at my WisdomPortal.com web site. Listing below the steps used in this Page Layout Project. |
(1) Goethe Portrait by Tischbein in Circular Marquee
was placed in the circular marquee. Next to Goethe's image, copied & pasted text on how I learned about Goethe from Albert Schweitzer during my freshman year at Columbia University (1960). Surprised that Goethe meant more to Schweitzer than the Nobel Peace Prize. He loved Goethe's poem Harzreise (Winter Journey in the Harz, 1777). After learning more about this Olympian (a universal man like Leonardo da Vinci), Goethe became my spiritual mentor, as I emulated his creativity in science and writing poetry.
