Indesign.. session 2

Session 2 learning how to use indesign.


Frames over text.
Use the pen and path tool and shapes to create text boxes.


Use the text wrap pallet to wrap the text around an image.




Then increase the margins to offset from the image slightly to make it more legible. 





Reproducing a magazine layout.

Created a new document measuring the margins on the magazine and matching them up on InDesign.


Then I matched the first headline as well as i could, added some text and used text wrap around the image of the man.


Then to wrap the text around the outline of the image set the contour options to alpha channel.


Page one completed.
