Introduction

This is what we'll build in this episode, a magazine page above a flexible 6-column grid, with text and photos of various widths yet still aligned. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. A grid with many columns provides more width options. 6 columns can be divided into 2, 3, or 6 parts, so the layout remains varied yet organized. Create a new A4 document and then open the layout, margins, and columns.

Step 1: Six-column grid

Fill number 6 and gate 4 mm. The page is divided into 6 equally wide narrow columns.

Step 2: Four-column photo

Place the Borobudur photo by dragging it from the first column to the fourth column at the top of the page. Column guide makes the photo edge align perfectly with the column line. In columns 5 and 6, place two stacked small photos, each spanning 2 columns. A 4-to-2 composition feels dynamic yet remains aligned with the grid.

Step 4: Three-column text

Create text frames from column 1 to 6 below the photo, then set the text frame options to 3 columns. Each text column occupies exactly 2 grid columns, so the text edges align with the photo edges.

Step 5: Title spanning four columns

Create a title spanning 4 grid columns and leave the 2 right columns empty. White space is not wasted space; it provides breathing room and highlights the title.

Step 6: Checking alignment

Press WI to review, then notice that the left edge of the photo, the title, and the text are aligned on the same line, and the space between photos is equal to the gutter. This is the order created by the grid.

Done!

Done! We have already created a 6-column grid, placed a 4-column photo and a 2-column photo, arranged text in 3 columns above the grid, and utilized the white space. In the next episode, we'll align text lines across columns using the baseline grid. Need a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report layout design?
