Today I started my double page spread mock-up. I have an idea to have to people standing next to the writing so they are the length of the text. I also wanted a picture in the middle of the text on the second page.
First I went online a found a picture of a celebrity that I liked. I chose one of Katy Perry. I opened an In design documents and changed the background colour. Then I cropped my picture of Katy Perry on a background with a similar colour of the InDesign background.
Next I started writing out an article on Pages. I then copied and pasted the text into text boxes on the InDesign document. I changed the font and the colours of the text and added an outline on some of the text. I had to rearrange some of the other writing and change the shape of some of the text boxes to get the desired effect.
I then wrote the rest of the article and but it in too separate columns on the facing page. I added a little caption to separate some of the text and I added a continued on the next page box. When I viewed the document on without the guidelines the top of the first page looked plain so I went online and got another picture of Katy Perry to put in the space.
