Topics Covered
For the last few sessions we have been learning InDesign—creating new documents, creating guides and rule , adding text, kerning and tracking. As we have had the chance to experience digital typography, and we have had the opportunity to deal with variations in typefaces, such as different weights, styles and widths.
One of the new tasks was creating type on a path. Here is a video that will help you if you didn’t quite catch on during our class session. Even though this demo uses InDesign CS5, the technique is still the same.
