Type Workshop 3

Construction

Before applying a grid you must understand the requirements of the work being produced.

Using more columns gives you more scope for arranging and accommodating text and illustrations.

Disadvantages of having too many columns in a grid are: lines will be narrow, small type needs to be used.

For stats, figures and graphs- use 4 columns per page.

The narrower a column is, the smaller the typeface

Do not rely on just one set of thumbnails.

Applying type to columns

10 point type / 15 point leading

Column length of 15cm= 15 pt leading=10 lines per third=30 lines every 15 cm

Task

Make a concertina fold, no littler than 5 panels no bigger than 16,
use a mixture of the grids that we have learnt about.

To set up for a concertina: 

Untick these:

Drag and drop the pages next to each other
