Lines and edges
BY CHUCK GREEN Stuck for a new look? Try breaking some rules. Instead of surrounding every block of text with a gutter that is equidistant from all edges, try aligning the baseline of the text to the edge of the background (figure 1).
Or positioning flush-left text with a background shape (figure 2). Or randomize the size, shape, and position of the lines that form the boxes used to hold the text (figure 3). Figure 4 is the finished product.
(BTW: This is one of the templates from The InDesign, QuarkXPress, and PageMaker Ideabooks.)
