Et tredje layoutprojekt - en side til et fotoalbum

Tredje layoutproject

I vores tredje layout-vejledning skal du igen bruge dine egne billeder og tekst

I denne lektion skal du revidere skridtene fra den første og anden vejledning:

• tilføj tekstbokse og justér deres størrelse og position
• tilføj illustrationer
• justér deres størrelse og position

Du vil også

• sammenkæde tekstrammer og
• opsætte afsnits- og tekststile.

Du vil skabe en side, som er egnet til at bruge i et fotoalbum; i forbindelse med dette vil vi komme ind på tekstflydning.

Det er tilrådeligt med store hvide felter i en side til et fotoalbum, men hvis dine marginer er for store, så vil du opleve, at enten billederne eller teksten kommer til at lide under manglende plads. Vi vil begynde med at forøge sidens marginer. Brug menuen Formatér -> Sidelayout.... Sæt marginer til 25 mm hele vejen rundt og markér så Anvend på dokument.

Det er smart at forberede sig lidt, før man går i gang med en side som denne. Husk, at foto, som kommer lige fra kameraet er store. Placerer du tre eller fire uredigerede billeder på en side kan resultere i en side, som det tager meget lang tid at udskrive, hvis det overhovedet kan lade sig gøre. Det kan måske endda få din printer til at gå ned. Lav i stedet en midlertidig mappe og kopiér alle de fotos, som du vil bruge til den. Brug så digiKam til at ændre billedernes størrelse til omtrent den størrelse, som du ønsker på siden.

Now, place three or four photos on your page and move them until you feel you have a good balance. Create a text frame, alongside your first picture, roughly filling the available space. Take care that the first text frame touches the left-hand margin. This is because frames that are in that position are treated as a column, so no other text frame should touch unless you specifically want it to be treated as such. If you encounter any problems with text flowing through boxes in the wrong order, this is the likely cause, and you may need to re-position the boxes on your page to avoid that margin.

In Properties, give your text frame a recognisable name, then in the Options tab, set Do not show the extra text. Close the Properties box, and select the Text tool. The text tool options appear at the lower right of the page, assuming you have the Tool Options docker showing. For a photo album you probably need a much larger text style that you would use for most documents, so now we will create text styles for use in this kind of page.

Click on the File:List-add.png under the Styles list and create a paragraph style called Album Title. A text style will be created in association with it. Selecting the character style, use the to set the font and size. I used URW Chancery L, 36 point for my title, and set the colour to green, to match the subject. Go back to the paragraph style and under General Layout set the alignment to Center. Create another Paragraph style for Album Text, using the same font and 22 point size, leaving the text colour and paragraph alignment at the defaults. One last thing - go back to the Album Title Paragraph configuration and set the next paragraph to Album Text. Any changes you make in these configurations will affect all paragraphs that use these styles.

Return to your first text box, then either type directly into the box, or paste in ready-made text. If your text overflows the area selected the rest will not be visible (due to the setting we made earlier). To add your Album Text style, place the cursor within the paragraph, select the style from the list, then will apply it.

Now's the time to create a new text box alongside the second picture. Again, fill the available space. The Connect Text Frames options page will pop up. Click on the named frame you earlier created. Again, in the Frameset Properties, set Do not show extra text. Your existing text will flow into this frame. For each new paragraph you will need to apply the Album Text style. Continue adding text frames and text as required.

This style of album page is useful if, for instance, you need a narrative style to accompany the pictures. On the other hand, often just captions are better.

This page shows two methods - one by adding text frames alongside the relevant photo, and the other by adding text frames below, as a caption. In the case of true captions like this, the text frame and photo should be grouped, to ensure that they don't get separated. Remember that this is for demonstration purposes only - mixing the styles like this is not aesthetically pleasing.

Experiment with paragraph and text styles, and layout. Enjoy creating pages to share with family and friends!
