When starting a document:
- Add 6 columns – easier placement on a grid
- 12pt gutter (space between the columns)
- 24pt margin
- bleed: the amount an image bleeds off the edge of the paper
Set up:
- Essentials- typography
Tips:
- Shift and command, keep in proportion
- Eye drop- take a swatch of different type design
- Text edit – make plain text (to remove colour and settings from text)
- Link text columns: click red square (when there is overset text) and then put into into a different text column
In response to this workshop I created these 4 pages using a grid. I used place holder text and used different layouts to see the possibilities when making a document with InDesign.
