This is a tab that i made in Indesign, some magazines have this at the top of the page to let the reader know that its not a normal viewing page this can cleverly make the page stand out from others making it more likely to be read.
This is the pages tool, this is where my double page spread is set, page 1 being a front cover and pages 2-3 being the page spread. Here i can also change the size of the pages, add or remove pages and also choose which page to have as my master.
This is the paragraph tab, this is the tool i probably used the most as this tab has everything you need for adjusting your type. The top left of the box has type alignment this allows you to choose how you want your type to be set within a text box for example left aligned, centre aligned and right aligned. Centre aligned type is usually in the form of a header or sub-header like my double page spread has, the " Mod culture " in my double page spread has been centre aligned and also the small piece of type underneath.
The first and second rows down on the paragraph tab are indentations this allows a whole paragraph or even s single line to be moved across the page right to left or left to right.
The third row allows space to be added between either the top or bottom of a paragraph this can be increased or decreased by clicking the up or down arrows. The forth row alters the drop cap tool, here you can change how many rows down the drop cap letter goes and also if you want more than one letter to be apart of the drop cap.
Lastly is the hyphenate tool, this is used to stop words being separated on some occasions indesign's hyphenate tool separates words in order for them to fit within the box, un-ticking this tool will stop this and have words together and wont have the annoying " - " at the end of them. The other image shown is how to add page numbers to my pages, once this is set every other page i click to come up will have an automatic page number.
This is the toolbar that comes up when text is in use, here you can change the font and point size and also the leading. On the far right there is some text editing tools such as all caps which changes all text to capitals, small caps which changes all letters to lower case. There is also the subscript tool and superscript tool, and lastly the strikethrough and underline tool.
This is the other half of the toolbar here there is, Leading, kerning, tracking , horizontal scale, vertical scale, character rotation and base-line shift.
