Setting up InDesign document

Here is an image to represent how I set up the height, width, columns, gutters and margins.

The gutter means the space between columns.

Add and edit text

Use the text tool to make a box for text, type in the box and use A (character formatting controls) and P (Paragraph) to format the style and layout of text 

Baseline Shift Tool helps you move the text up or down 

You can use the colour palette to change the colour of the text and swatches (drag and drop) to change the colour of the text box

 Add and edit colours

Select the rectangle tool to create a rectangle shape and after this use the colour pallet to add colour from a colour wheel.

Use RGB or CYMK to colour match the colours used in photoshop to match the colours in InDesign.
