3. Longer Text
When we say longer text, it’s all relative. To some, a long document might be anything beyond a single page; to others it might mean hundreds — or even thousands — of pages. What the projects in this chapter have in common is that they are all multipage: ranging in length from a double-sided brochure to a novel of more than 200 pages. In the previous chapters, your choice of main tool — InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop — was often down to personal preference and possibly interchangeable, such is the wealth of features that these titan applications have in common. But when it comes to multiple pages, unless you like doing things the hard way, your hub application should be InDesign. Photoshop and Illustrator play a supporting role. This chapter explores the design challenges of wrangling longer passages of text, with lots of tips and tricks to make it all manageable.
