Introduction
This is what we will create in this episode: an A3 poster with a 4-row by 3-column modular grid, 6 photos arranged on top of the modules, and a title aligned with the grid. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. A modular grid divides the page into equally sized cells. With a grid, decisions about size and positioning become much easier and the results are consistent. Create a one-page A3 document without facing pages, margin 15mm and bleed 3mm. Posters are usually one page, so facing pages should not be checked.
Step 2: Create Guides
Select layout, create guide. Fill in rows 4 and columns 3, gutter 5mm for both, then select fit guide to margins. Click OK, and 12 equally sized modules are formed. Drag the ruler guide from the top ruler to the position 50mm.
Step 3: Ruler guide for the title
The area above this line will be used for the poster title, so the photo modules start below it.
Step 4: Place the photo following the module
Press Ctrl D and place the Bromo photo, then drag from the top-left corner of the module to cover 2 modules to the right. The photo immediately adheres to the guides. Repeat for the next photo, each occupying 1 or 2 modules. Combine sizes, 1 large photo covering 2x2 modules, several photos covering 1 module.
Step 5: Variation of module size
This variation makes the poster dynamic, but still neat because all photo edges follow the same grid and gutter lines.
