I have put together a very simple layout design on Adobe Indesign, I mostly did this to learn a bit more about the software and how to use the paragraph styles tab. Here is an image below of what I created:
I started a new digital publishing document, designed for an Ipad landscape. I increased the size of the margins, as it is an app and also added columns and guide lines.
I then pressed the window drop down menu and clicked styles- paragraph styles and this box came up:
As you can see, I have created a few layers with slightly different characteristics according to he text type. I adjusted these paragraph styles by double clicking the layer.
The image above shows where I chose font, type size, kerning, leading, etc. I also made sure that hyphenating was off on each section.
These paragraph styles were created because it is a lot easier to click that specific style, according to what section you are writing throughout the production process. It means that you don't need to keep recreating the same styles when writing more in the same theme. For example when writing the main body text, this should be the same throughout the whole book so it looks more professional and put together, this is made a lot easier using this method.
Good explanation
