Margins and Coloumns

[Panda]

Hi,

How do I know how many coloums do I need to make? I am doing a cookbook.

That's completely up to you. Choose a layout and number of columns that best suit your content. Might I suggest you do some Googling and find images of layouts that you like for inspiration. If you are unsure how to create a similar layout please post any questions here in the forum.

Whatever you decide be sure to use Paragraph Styles throughout. I also suggest using an object style for the text frames. This will make it easier to maek global changes to your layour, like changing the number of columns.

Hi Panda,

this is a design question. It highly depends on the size and orientation of your pages and your typography.

Look around and analyze other cookbooks.

Also see into articles about grid design like that: https://visme.co/blog/layout-design/
