This is what we'll create in this episode: a photo essay spread with one main photo and four smaller photos arranged neatly in a grid, complete with captions. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Essay photos tell a story through images. A designer's task is to provide rhythm, one dominant photo, several supporting photos, and consistent spacing. Open the magazine taste and navigate to the spread pages 6 and 7.
This page will display a morning story in a traditional market.
Place the market photo to fill the left page until the edge. The main photo is selected that tells the strongest story, for example, the scene of the vendor and the buyer.
At the top of the right page, type the essay photo title and a short introductory paragraph. Text is kept minimal so the photo remains the focus. Place 4 small photos in a 2x2 grid with equal spacing, following the page grid columns.
All photos use proportional fill frame to ensure uniform size. Below the grid, create captions numbered 1 to 4 that explain each small photo.
Numbered captions are more organized than the captions below each photo. Open the Links panel and check the effective PPI for each photo. For print, aim for a minimum of 240 to 300 PPI to ensure sharp images.
Done! We have already opened the spread, placed the main photo, written the title and introduction, Arrange a 4-photo grid, create numbered captions, and check photo resolution. In the next episode, we create the magazine ad page. Need a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report layout design?
