Goal

The pri­mary goal of this exer­cise is to cre­ate a print­able type spec­i­men sheet using Indesign.

Objective

Recre­ate the pro­vided lay­out using the assigned type­face and appro­pri­ate con­tent, label­ing and use each style sheet as directed. Using the Styles fea­ture in InDe­sign, remap the tem­plate styles to your assigned typefaces.

Background Reading

• Kane, p 116–125
• Bringhurst, 45–60, 271–298

Part One

Cre­ate a 8.5′ x 11′ InDe­sign doc­u­ment using the pro­vided Tem­plate file. Keep a copy of it for later ref­er­ence. Revise the header con­tent to reflect assigned type­face. Edit the remain­ing styles name to reflect your type­face and the style attrib­utes to match the type­face. If you under­stand how styles are used, the exer­cise will go quickly.

Place a PDF and a .indd copy of the Inde­sign file the appro­pri­ate D2L dropbox.
