Type Workshop Part 2

We have set up a three column A4 page and inserted the second paragraph of block text.
We were told how paragraphs don't always need to be placed in block text and indents play just as big role  as the paragraph. A default indent is often created by pressing "tab" however its a ten mil space which isn't wanted all the time. For our paragraph we decided to use a " three character " indent.

TIP

If people don't notice your layout that means you've done a good job because the reader shouldn't notice your layout over the article

We then got given another set text and had to fit it onto a new A4 document and try make it as legible and readable as possible. I choose to go for a 2 column style document but the right way would have been a 3 column which not only read nicely but also looked pleasing when reading the text.

Colour of the page actually affects how we are brought to the page. It engages the part of you which sees the whole document. By adding more leading you add more white into the document which makes it nicer to look at. If you increase the weight of a typeface you will darken the whole feel of the document. 

We now had to incorporate the image onto our page. This was an image of some block press which needed to be placed in our document and allow the text to still be read.
