How do design a DPS in

InDesign

We opened up the software, we created a new

document in which we then set the
parameters for the design. We decided to use
4 pages as 2 will be used for the double page
spread and the other 2 will later on be used
when we being our main cover and contents
page. Furthermore I also decide to use 3
columns.
 columns
After that we created the document, it
showed a page containing three
columns. There were gaps between
each column which called guttering
this gap between the columns help
separate the work and make the
columns clear. We then change the
formation of the pages so the double
page spread comes last.
 Headline and stand first
We then use the tool bar to create a
text box(for our headline) I decided
to place my headline on the right.
The we changed the size and font of
the text before using the toolbar to
change colour of the text and we also
added a stroke.
After that we used the same
instructions to create a stand first
 Columns 2
We created a new text box over one
whole page using the lines to aid us.
After that we selected how many
columns we have and filled the page
with placement text for now.
 Linking columns
we also learned how to link columns, to do this we
first had to create a new text box on the next
page which we also had set the columns for. Then
we had to make sure our previous text box was
overflown we knew this by the small red box at
the bottom right hand side of the text box. Next
we clicked a small white box on the new text box
we created previously, then we hovered over the
overflown text box this then showed a link sign
after that we left clicked and then then it was
linked and our text moved over onto the new text
box.
 Drop caps
The drop cap was quite simple we
had to click anywhere on the first
paragraph, then we ton the task bar
we used the paragraph tool and we
could decide how many letter we
wanted to drop and also how many
lines we wanted to drop down.
 By line
We then added a by line to show who
the article was by in this case me
 image
File, place; is how we added an image.
Furthermore we also saw how to make text go
around the image using text around, this was
just a button on the text bar which made text
go around the image instead of
behind/through it.
We also added a caption to the image, we did
this by adding a text box and moving it onto
the image, after that we right clicked onto text
frame options and then clicked on ignore wrap
around.
