indesign-ing

Changing the view modes in indesign allowed me to see my double pages spreads in the most basic view, which shown the text boxes, images bounding boxes and type on my pages. 

Using this mode, I was able to see the simple layout of my design rather than everything being cluttered by the images and the detailed background.

This view shows the layout of the double spread and the way in which I have placed the images and the typeface. It shows the bounding boxes that have been used on In-design.

The columns on the spreads acted as a guide of where I could place text bounding boxes and where there was space for image boxes.

A grid system was required for our spreads, and I based mine on a four column style, which I stuck to, but the theme of the spreads stayed the same which I felt was important.

The header of the page was always located in the top left corner of a page, as that is what my research informed me to do.  

I am happy with my final spreads and feel the grid system and columns helped me in designing a range of  spreads I was happy with and had a running theme.
