(Course details as an element will be included on each page, but the course name and details themselves will vary.)

The book will be set as an 8 pager InDesign, facing pages document. Find the source file in the project files folder. How will you arrange elements in the given space and dimensions? Content for each assignment will vary and hence provisions have to be made for body text (the assignment itself), images, notes, references and miscellaneous text such as page numbers.

- In Task 2 we made a grid for a single page.
- In Task 3 we will understand how grid helps us design for a system, in this case a book.
- Try constructing your own grid based on earlier tasks and presentations seen so far.

Don’t forget to brush up principles discussed in the earlier courses mentioned below:
• Designed coursework in Visual Communication
• Visual Order
