Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: a cover page with a full bleed photo and a white title above a transparent panel, so it remains readable over any photo. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. A large photo filling the page gives a dramatic effect. The challenge is making the text on top of it still easy to read.

Step 1: Photo to bleed

Create an A4 document with 3mm bleed. Place the Bromo photo by dragging it from the top-left bleed corner to the bottom-right bleed corner. The photo fills the entire page, including the bleed area.

Step 2: Selecting the quiet area

Text is easiest to read in the calm areas of the photo, such as the sky or shadows. Move the photo with the content grabber so that the peak of the mountain is at one-third of the top, leaving a darker area of sandy beach below.

Step 3: Transparent panel

Create a box with the Rectangle Tool at the bottom, from the left bleed to the right bleed. Fill it with bleed then lower the opacity to 60% in the Control Panel. The photo still looks faint behind the panel.

Step 4: White title

Create a text frame above the panel and type 'Fajar di Lautan Pasir'. Set the font to Kum Sans Bleed 48 point and color to Paper, which is white. The white contrast against the dark panel makes the title very clear. Add a smaller introductory text below the title with the same Paper color.

Step 5: Intro text

Keep the distance from the page edges at least equal to the margin, to prevent it from being cut when printed.

Step 6: Checking in Preview

Press Wii for Preview mode and view from a distance. If the title still isn't prominent enough, slightly increase the panel's opacity or enlarge the font size. Make sure the photo truly reaches the bleed line.

Done!

Done. We've placed a full bleed photo, selected a calm area for the text, created a transparent panel with opacity, and arranged a readable white title. In the next episode, we'll fade out the photo with a gradient fader. Need a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report layout design?
