(Note that two special effects are discussed in other chapters see #19 for type on a path and #65 for drop shadows and other effects.) But for serious impact, you might experiment with some of InDesign's special effects, such as stroke, color, scale, and skew. The spacing between characters, words, lines, and paragraphs affects the design as well. The look of type is largely dependent on the typeface you select, the style (such as bold or italic), and the size. In addition, you'll look at features for creating and formatting tables that save you time and enhance your designs.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to apply special effects such as scaling type, creating drop caps, anchoring objects in text, wrapping text around objects and images, and more. Judicious use of features discussed in this chapter can give your projects a professional edge. This includes text within tables, which are often ideal for presenting information.


Some of the basic decisions you make, such as font and size, affect typography, but the real reason you use InDesign is for all its fine-tuning options. It's hard to say when you go from "working with text" to focusing on "typography," where your primary concern is the appearance of the text.
