Creating an A5 Booklet for my essay, in InDesgin

Yesterday i created my essay A5 booklet. This was created in the same software as i chose to do my leaflet in (In Design). After picking up the basic techniques it was fairly straight forward. First i created my pages as shown below.




This is the pages window. As you can see i started off with one page on a simple document. All i have to do now is add the pages...











Here all i had to do is select the top right thumbnail and simply drag it underneath my main page, creating 2-3 pages. After placing my text in, i relaised i would have to create more pages.



                                             
                                                         





After reading through the brief, i realised that i would have to created Character and Paragraph styles for my text. This picture shows you the Paragraph style window, the Character one is exactly the same, however, it is a different window option.  All i have to do now is give the style a name, and select the font and sizes i want it to be.












This is one of my paragraphs i applied to my main body text. As you can see it is generated by Helevitca font and size 10. 











These next pictures show the text before and after the Paragraph style was applied.


 :Before
 After:














This is a character style, which i will apply to random first letters of a paragraph, rather than the whole paragraph.










Then i wanted to personalise this character style even more by, using the window drop down menu, clicking on type & tablets and selecter character, shown in the picture.












This is the character window. All i changed was the bottom option, where it says -3. I did this because this means how many lines the letter drops down to. Vise versor, if it was +, that would mean to say how many lines the letter climbs up.









This was the effect from the character style and the character format.





Lastly, i create one more paragraph style to my Bibliography page.






Times New Roman, Bold, Italic and size 14
