Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: flowing curved text that follows a circular photo, using wraparound object shape. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Bounding box is always rectangular. For circular or shaped frames, wraparound object shape makes text follow the contour of the shape.

Step 1: Round Photo

Open the article copy file. The Latte photo is inside an ellipse frame in the center of the page and covers the text in both columns.

Step 2: Bounding Box on Round Photo

Select the photo and click wraparound bounding box. Text now avoids the box around the circle, creating empty corner spaces in the four corners of the photo. The result is not neat.

Step 3: Wrap Around Object Shape

Click the wraparound object shape icon. Text now follows the circular curve. The lines near the top and bottom of the photo are longer, while the middle lines are shorter. In the contour options, type graphic frame makes wrap follow the shape of the frame, which is a circle.

Step 4: Contour Options

Other options like detect edges and alpha channel are used for transparent background photos.

Step 5: Offset Shape

Fill top offset 5mm. For object shape, there is only one offset value because the distance follows the contour. The curved text now has spacious and uniform space around the photo. Curved text looks most neat when it is aligned left-right with hyphenation active, so the text edges form a smooth curve.

Step 6: Justify and Hyphenation

Done!

Done. We have compared bounding box and object shape on a circular photo, using wrap around object shape, understood contour options, and adjusted offset. In the next episode, we will use jam object and jam to next column. Need layout design for magazines, books, brochures, product catalogs, company profiles, or annual reports?
