DTP poster

Our first session in InDesign we produced the DTP poster/ newsletter. we had an A4 page on portrait, set to print.

We learned how to setup automatic paragraph spacing, and I got taught how to use clipping path, detect edges, so an image or object can be inserted into text with the text going around it. I got taught to do page numbers by going to type, insert special character, markers and then select current page number. 

 To set the first letter of an article as being larger then the others, need to turn it into a drop capital. Click anywhere in the paragraph and increase size of the drop caps settings.


This was the Final Design. This exercise was to use all the basic and major tools to create a professional document.
