In Design Stage 1

To practice using in Design, I opened a new document and used the double page spread, I created three columns and copied and pasted an article into those columns, I made the text link together and continue into the next column by dragging the smaller box into the column. I used the grid view to make sure that all columns were in line with each other and were exactly the same distance apart. I then edited the text, changing the font. I made the first letter of the article larger than the others. I then made another box and placed a quotation in it, I had to make the text arrange around the quotation box. I then covered the whole article with a large box so that I was able to change the background colour. Afterwards I edited a picture in Photoshop as In Design does not allow you to edit pictures, I made the picture transparent so there would be no white background around it and I also resized the picture before positioning it. I then played around with creating a header, by changing the colours and the fonts, and also by creating strokes around the text.
