Your Life, Your times in design skills development




So far in in-design I have developed many skills. One skill I have learnt is to place drop caps in. This is done by going to the paragraph formatting controls and accessing the drop cap option. You can also change how many worlds that you want to have a drop cap. For example i have made my drop cap ENGLAND. Another good skill I have acquired is to place my article into in-design this is done by creating a rectangle frame and then placing the images or text in. Obviously as I am placing my article in, I need to have columns. To do this I simply go to layouts and then change the amount of columns I want. From this i also accessed the margin and ruler option so I could create the outline, like i have around this document.

Quote inserts are also a very important part of my project in the sense that they give the another option for my audience to read and look at. This can be done by creating another text box and just warping the text around the quote insert. When I started in-design and i was placing my article in I had difficulty in making the text spread across the 3+ columns. I learnt that I could manipulate the text by creating a text flow. This option came as a red small box option after I had placed the article in which allowed me to make the text flow across two pages.
