Lesson 17

It was another indesign lesson today. We tried this page out with Mr Cheo’s guidance


I was able to star off with the simple elements of the article first like the different text boxes, the polacing of the placeholder text and the stoppress header. But It was har for me to figure out how to have the text wrapped around so perfectly on the baby. It was  using the pen tool and type tool. It surprised me how easy it was, but I think for more complicated images in the future, it would require a keen eye for the strokes and curvature of the line drawn haha. Also, there were a few hiccups during the placing of the baby. The image came out different and unlike the one in the picture, there were little holes that were transparent and it was cause some settings were left out during the placing of the image during the text wrap step.
Following this, we had to complete our own page on indesign. When I first saw the example I was shocked cause there seemed to be a lot of elements needed to complete the page. And yes there were a lot of elements. I took a slightly longer time to complete the thing, however I managed to complete the thing before the end of the lesson without any help. Quite happy with the result and final look as compared to the example. Haha. Oops.
