My first requirement for iWork and come and gone. Over the weekend my Son was attending a birthday party and wanted to have something to give to his friend since his actual present won’t be released until March 21st.

I must admit that I was a little concerned as we had a whopping 15 minutes to come up with a design and phrase it to everyone’s satisfaction… Oh before I go on, this was the first time that I had started or used pages as well…

After sitting down in front of my Mac I decided that it could be spelled out best in a certificate. So off to start pages and create a landscape document.

My fun began while I was trying to find a border for the page to hilight the contents, with no love right away, I decided to use shapes instead.

The main layout work was very easy using text boxes and drag and drop. Pages saved me a lot of time and grief and helped to make my Son’s day in giving a better present.
