We first opened a new document, 1 column and in portrait.
Then we placed some previously typed text into the column
It came out like this:
We then selected pages and made a master page
Master page - magazine variety of different columns, background pages (template)
This was a simple process which meant we could keep the type.
We then chose to make a two columned page
which originally looked like this:
We then pasted the text into the first column, although it all wouldn't fit and i learned that if you click the bottom right of the text there is a red square which then shows the sign below:
This then allows you to drag your text into another column and make it look like this:
We were then asked to make the type fit both columns without changing the typeface or weight. but still keeping it legible.
Then we were asked to do the same with the single column
and to fit around about 12 words per line. this was a difficult task when you didn't know
how to exactly produce this.
We then divided the type into two columns which made it a lot easier to do.
I played around with some kerning and changing the leading up and down for legiblilty
I also changed the justify which made the type look messed up in some areas.
I then made an indent on the type to see the view.
We then moved onto 3 columns.
This was a lot easier to calculate rather than 2 or 1, i'm not sure whether it was
because i go use to changing the layout or whether it was because 3 is generally easier.
We then were asked to do what we want, however an image was to be added.
and we had to make it fit to a two column and still look readable.
We then tried it with a two column.
5 column grids don't work very well and my image wasn't uploading...
