Six Columns on Two Page Spread Reflection

by Thiago A

Designers throughout history have been using Grids to create Organization and Order. The use of Grids also comes with the use of Breaking the Grid, Which when used correctly, Can be essential to creating a Design. One Technique used by Designers to Break the Grid is the use of  Text Wrapping, Which is type organized to form around an image or to create a silhouette with whitespace. For my Design, I followed the theme of Dogs and Bees, Which can be seen in the images I used throughout my Design. One tool in InDesign that can help achieve Text Wrap is the automated key points that InDesign can make from an image and make the Type wrap around the image. However, This can be countered by manually changing the key points with the selection tool (the white arrow tool). One thing I believe I could've improved upon was my image's gutter, Which appears inconsistent.
