The document discusses experimenting with layout features in InDesign, including adding gridlines, placing images and adjusting text wrap, adding a pull quote text box, experimenting with text flow along paths and within shapes, and using drop caps. The goal was to gain a deeper understanding of constructing contents and double page spreads in InDesign.

1. Practise using InDesign

2. Firstly, I added gridlines for the columns and rows
as a rough guide as to where I want to put the
text and photos.

‘Filler’ text, used
for temporary use
so that you get an
idea as to what it
would look like
Standfirst

3. I placed the image into the InDesign page, and
then experimented with how the text would
flow: around, on top of, etc.

4. I added a text box for the pull quote, then similarly
to the photo, I decided to edit the ‘Text
Wrap’, and for the surrounding text to flow
around the pull quote

5. I then did some more experimentation with the
flow of the text. I wanted the text to flow along a
path, and to do so, I went onto the ‘Paragraph
Style’.

6. I then drew a circle, and inserted text into and
around the shape. As well as this, I added
drop caps to my main text.

Style’.

7. With this experimentation of InDesign, I have a
deeper understanding of how I will construct
my contents and double page spread
