This document outlines 10 steps to create a page layout in InDesign. It describes inserting columns, a 3x3 grid, frames for an image and title, and fitting text around inserted images. The final step shows the completed design with organized columns, fitted image and text, and inserted title using techniques like drop caps to draw attention to the start of text.

By Edward Gill

2. Step
1
In this step I created three columns that
would split up my text that I inserted later on.

3. Step
2
In step two you can see that I inserted a grid
which is 3by 3. I did this so that I could break
my page up, resulting in my work becoming
more organised. I made sure that when
inserting my grid I clicked “fit to margins” so
that my guides would be even within my
workspace.

4. Step
3
In this step I inserted a frame for where my
image would be placed.

5. Step
4
In this step I inserted my image of the Empire
State Building into the rectangular frame that
is on the design. I did this by originally starting
off in Photoshop, where I made sure the size
of the image would be the same size of the
picture frame on my design page. I then
placed the image into in-design.

6. Step
5
For step 5 I collected some random text of the
Internet and placed it within the text box on
my design page. As you can see in the image
to the left, the text goes over the image I
inserted earlier.

7. Step

Step 6 is where I text wrapped my text around
my image.

8. Step
7
For step 7 I inserted a drop capital, this was
because it is a useful tool to draw the eye to
the start of the text

9. Step

In this step I inserted a frame for where the
title will be positioned.

10. Step

For this step I chose a font for my title and
inserted the words into the frame I already
placed.

Step 10 is my finished overall design and
layout I created.
