2. Step 1: I created a new
document in Adobe
InDesign, I then set
the number of
columns from 1 to 3.
This gives me
this page layout
as an end result
Step 2: I created an empty box for my chosen
image to go in to using the Rectangle Frame
Tool, the problem with InDesign is the image
won’t automatically change to fit in to the
square so I’ll have to use Photoshop to change
the size of my image so it fits the box using the
measurements.
3. Step 3: after opening my chosen photograph
in to Photoshop, I clicked on image and then
image size to change the images settings so it
will fit the empty box on my grid/page layout.
This then brings up this box for image size, which I
changed to match the measurements from the
InDesign document, this may automatically change
other aspects – such as the measurement for width:
121.656mm changed to 119.89mm as soon as I
changed the height to 87.8mm – it still fits the empty
box.
I then saved the
Photoshop image as a
JPEG.
4. Step 4: I needed to add my image
in to the empty box on my
document – I do this by going to:
File > Place… > my chosen and
edited image.
This is the end result – it fits the
box perfectly.
Step 5: Using the Type Tool, I created a text box in
alignment with the individual grid lines, I made a small
box for the title, and larger boxes that extend down to
the bottom of the page, yet stay within the grids
guidelines.
Here you can see I’ve
created the text box
for the last column
on the grid, you can
tell because there
are light green
arrows that stretch
from the top of the
text boxes down to
the bottom.
