Week 14 - Studio A

this lesson we learnt about style sheets. a style sheet acts as a format or a set. any type of edit applied to objects and text can be saved as a set and this set can also be applied to upcoming objects and texts. it saves time and effort, you don't need to do the same thing multiple times. there are:

1. character styles
options under the character panel like font size, kerning, leading, tracking, etc.

2. paragprah styles
controls paragraph attributes like indents, spacing, alignment, and headings.

3. object styles
controls strokes, text wrap, and fills.

4. table styles
spacings, strokes and fills.

5. cell styles
text, strokes, and fills.

styles can be found under Window.

it has all the five styles. setting up the individual styles are easy, just click on the third icon from the left at the bottom of the palette and it will create a style format/set. it will be named Basic Paragraph and when you double click that a pop-up window will appear. from there, you can change the different elements and options of a paragraph. indesign can also detect separate paragraphs.

to apply a style, just highlight the text click on the paragraph style (name) on the palette. however, paragraph styles do not allow for individual words to be styled. hence, this is where character styles comes in.
