Press Pass Template

[tardman91]

I'm looking for a template to create a press pass for my middle school yearbook club. Preferably something free. I have Microsoft Office, and some other educational software products, but unfortunately no PhotoShop. Does anyone know of a decent Word template or something that I can tweak to my needs? I'm a little lazy at the moment and not entirely confident I could whip something up with enough of a "cool" factor. We have a sweet ID maker at school and I think it would make my students feel extra special to have official looking "press passes" to wear to our athletic events and such.
Thanks!

Can you use Gimp at all?

Anyway, does this help? It is supposed to be downloadable and opened in Word.

Do you have Pages?

Create a document, probably using the Page Layout option. Use a table so it all lines up, and make all the lines invisible. Leave a cell open for the photo. You can put a text box on top and rotate it 45º - the text would say "Press" or the something. Set the opacity to about 50% so the photo shows through. Looks really official.

Then, you just drag a photo over and drop it into the cell, and save as a PDF (for the inevitable "I need a new pass, my dog ate my old one...") and print and laminate. All you need now is a fedora so that you have something to tuck the pass into.

I do have Gimp. I just installed it. That link is just junk. I don't see anything to download that is an actual file. Just a bunch of links to other junk.

Well at least I tried.
