Unit 7: Text Wrap

You are well on your way to being comfortable with the expansive and powerful features of InDesign. With each chapter you have methodically added skill "layers" upon each other. Think how easy the projects at the beginning of the book would be for you now!

In Chapter 7 you created and manipulated document layers. You also were introduced to Open Type, text wrap, transparency and feathering and you created two great projects! The next chapter will continue with more project based instruction! WAHOO!

Upon complete chapter 7, answer the following:

  1. Have you used text wrap and layers before? If so, what software program did you use them in?
  2. Where can you use text wrap outside of InDesign? In another class? In the "real-world"? How?
  3. SELF ASSESSMENT: How confident are you in using text wrap?
    **** Very Confident
    *** Somewhat Confident
    ** Not Very Confident
    * Not at all Confident
  4. How confident are you in using layers?
    **** Very Confident
    *** Somewhat Confident
    ** Not Very Confident
    * Not at all Confident
