If we did have any original new ideas, and we gave them for free in a
newsgroup, then they would not stay original or new for long.
Good design is a sure-fire way to surprise your teachers (depending on your
teachers - many haven't got a clue about good design, and think that
hundreds of fonts and thousands of ClipArt images and pre-designed WordArt
gallery objects placed randomly across the page is a good way to create an
attractive publication. Either way, it will give you far greater
satisfaction in the long term)
See if you can lay your hands on the Publisher 97 Companion - it features a
great introduction to good design.

A publication is judged by the quality of content and how well it puts the
meaning, reasoning, selling pitch over to the reader..
You asked a very non-specific question, failing to put across what kind of
publication you wanted to 'spice' up.. so there is something you have
learned straight away.. your original question would have gotten the same
response regardless of any 'spicing' tactics..
Pictures and diagrams accompanying text in a publication must have relevance
to what is written and must show 'clearly' any point being made.. pictures
with captions that read "if you look really closely at the centre of the
picture, you can see a small brown dot, which is actually the leader of the
herd I have been studying" are of absolutely no value..
If the publication is of a technical type, footnotes are very useful..
unfortunately, Publisher does not have the same abilities as MS Word, but
they can be typed in manually..
Newsletters should always have a large headline, and in multi page spreads,
use continuation boxes from the front page stories, such that front page
space can be used to grab attention of the reader..
Something else to bear in mind.. would you like to tell us how we were to
know that you were just a kid looking to learn how to do a project?.. you
see, more facts that you left out..
As you are unwilling to share information with us, look at a publication of
the type that you have been asked to make, and see what goes into it.. then
replicate what you have seen..
