Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode, a pull quote that highlights an engaging sentence and a tips sidebar with a colored background, two techniques to break up a long article. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. An article that only contains a block of text feels heavy. Pull quotes and sidebars provide visual entry points so readers are more inclined to read further.
Step 1: Selecting a quote
Open the 3-column article file. Find a sentence that is engaging and represents the article's content, for example, a sentence about good memories from a journey. A good quote should be short and pique curiosity.
Step 2: Pull Quote frame
Create a text frame that is 2 columns wide in the center of the page and type the quote with quotation marks. Apply the quote style, Georgia Italic 18 point in blue color.
Step 3: Top and bottom lines
With the cursor in the quote, open the paragraph rules. Activate the rule above and rule below, each 2 points in orange color with an offset of 3 mm. The lines frame the quote elegantly.
Step 4: Text wrap for Pull Quote
Select the pull quote frame and apply wrap around bounding box with an offset of 4 mm. The article flows around the pull quote without being covered.
Step 5: Sidebar
Create a text frame in the bottom right column containing a small title, a short tip, and 3 tips. Give it a cream fill and inset of 4 mm through the text frame options. Then apply text wrap so the article isn't covered. View the entire page in preview mode.
Step 6: Balance
A pull quote in the center and a sidebar in the corner create multiple focal points on the page, while the article text still flows neatly.
Done!
Done. We have selected a quote, created a pull quote with style and line, applied text wrap, and created a sidebar background.
