For our next class set the text for your self-authored element content in InDesign. Set up a 7"w x 8"h document with no facing pages. Give the page a 3/4" border. Make a small text box at the bottom of the page (in the bottom margin, left-aligned with the paragraphs) to mark what typeface, weight/style, size and leading you are using. Set your content in 4 different typefaces, 2 sans-serif, 2 serif. Only use the "Regular" or "Roman" styles, no bold, light or italic. Pick from the Font Folio package only and avoid display faces like Rosewood and Bickham Pro. Set each typeface in the following sizes and leadings (the first increment is point size, the second is leading):
- 8pt/10pt
- 9pt/11pt
- 10pt/12pt
- 11pt/13pt
- 12pt/14pt
Materials for the upcoming task...
THESE ARE NOT FOR THE ABOVE EXERCISES!
Make sure you have 2 well written paragraphs of text to work with as well as the list of properties. Additionally, come up with a concise statement to serve as a title, like: "Don't Mess Around with Fermium". Also find a good quality image to incorporate into your content. It can be a photo of the element (gold for example), an illustration of it's compound make-up, or another image that illustrates something profound or at least interesting about the element.
requirements for the next stage:
- monogram
- photo/illustration
- title
- element name and number
- 2 text paragraphs
