My First Page

This is my first time using InDesign and this is my first page in AS Media. 


I took several pictures and simply added them to my desktop using the SD memory card. I then imported my images into frames using the frame tool and fitted them proportionally into each one so the whole image was visible. I used the Object menu bar to arrange the text and images so that they overlapped to make my page more compact. Using the toolbar on the left of my screen, I altered the shape of the frames using the direct selection tool to make whatever shape I chose; a triangle and a circle.

How I think Blogger will be useful for my coursework
