InDesign Article Practice

 Here you can see i have edited some shapes and a couple of words on InDesign. I have added drop shadow to the shapes to give a more 3-D Effect and it also makes the shapes seem bolder, which allow them to stand out a lot more. I can also use the angle tool to decide at what angle i wanted to make the shadow, this was quite fun to use and it made the shape look completely different depending on which angle you had the shadow at. For the rectangle on the right hand side, I changed the gradient within the shape and also inserted a various amount of colours to make the shape more eye catching.

At the start of the document, I selected three columns and made the gutter the size that I needed. I then changed the back ground of the article by inserting a rectangle and putting the colours white and blue within it, then changed the gradient that the line appears at. My next task was to use the pen tool and the rectangle tool to make the football pitch in the top right hand corner, i then had to select all of the shapes and then resize and position the pitch in the top right hand corner. The headline was made by creating drop shadow and changing the font, thus making me need to change the size of the text. I needed to insert the text next, and dropped the text in and then used the '+' sign to drag the rest of the text through the article. Finally i needed to wrap the text around the images to make the article look a lot more professional.
