Assignment:

- In the same InDesign document that we have been working with this week, use the Pages Palette to add two additional pages:
- Page 3: Your name in 72pt type across the top of the page, and two columns of 12pt overflowed placeholder text (placed with the “Fill with Placeholder Text” command). All paragraphs should start with a 2-line Drop Cap, be Left Justified, and should be double-spaced (adjust the leading), have the tracking (space between letters), the text vertical width and horizontal height adjusted.
- When your document meets all the requirements, save it as “YOUR NAME – InDesign Week 1”
