I used InDesign to create this broadsheet front cover. I used tools like the text box and shape making tool. I used place holder option to fill large paragraphs and make it look more full. I had to ensure everything was fit to place and looked neat and presentable. I used many tools to create my InDesign broadsheet which allowed me to perfect it. An example of a tool i used was the line tool. When using it i felt the shift key to keep the line straight and could also increase the width of the lines. This was used to create boarders and breakers.
Initially i placed in all the pictures from the shared file into InDesign in order to gather images and resources i could use for my broadsheet. The place holder text tool became very useful when i had to fill large amounts of texts. Also, instead of stretching the images out and risking losing resolution on my images i first selected the image and in the top tool bar i increase it’s proportions so that it would remain clear and didn’t become blurry.
Well done Daniel, looking good so far for 2nd draft. Your evaluation is well written and explains your methods well including your use of images.
ReplyDeleteTo improve check your columns it is five at the bottom for Brazilian story but it is four for the oil prices story. Readjust column guides then placeholder text will flow inside - keep gutters same width too.
