Headline- To create a headline I used the text tool
to create a large text box in which I the typed my
desired writing. I modified it using the font select
tool and adding a stroke to make it fit the house of
my magazine.
I also used this process to incorporate other text
elements such as my standfirst and then I
individually modified typography and colours
depending on the purpose of the text.

Columns- To create my columns for my
main text body I selected the
‘Paragraph Formatting Controls’
pictured below. I then inserted a
desired size text box and chose the
number of columns I wanted.

Pictures- To insert pictures I went to file, place and then opened my desired image.
The image then appeared in my document and I held Ctrl + Shift to gave me the
ability to rotate and resize this image in proportion.

6. How to use InDesign
Swatches- To create a swatch I used the colour picker, then clicked the colour I
wanted and selected the colour in the bottom left and this selection screen came
up. I then selected ‘add swatch’ and the colour was available for future use.

To create elements such as my standfirst, page numbers
and drop cap I used the text tool and modified the size,
colour and importantly the stroke to make it stand out
from the body text and perform it’s informative purpose.
