z WHATZIT HDR

FOUR GUESSES again this week. And, again, all four are correct. Last week’s Whatzit is the curled tail of a chameleon. Elizeth Eck says it’s a “veiled chameleon.” I’m not gonna argue that…sounds like she knows her lizards.

Here’s this week’s Whatzit. Whaddaya think?

Freevaluation

TAKE ADVANTAGE of me. Please!

Newcomers to the Henninger Helpful Hint may not be aware that one of the services I offer on my weekly blog is the “freevaluation.” For those who have been following for a while, you’re invited, too!

It’s your chance to submit a page or pages for review.

When I post your page, I offer some thoughts on the design, along with suggestions on how to improve the look and/or the approach.

It’s a way for you to get some feedback on your work, with the purpose of helping you improve as a designer.

Over the past few years, I’ve evaluated at least a hundred or so pages (including those above) on the blog…and I’m eager to do the same for you.

Just send in your pages (preferably as jpg files, but PDFs will do, too) with a quick note. I’ll post your submission(s) on Ed Henninger’s Blog, along with some insights on improving your work. Others may also submit comments.

Send your pages to me at edh@henninger consulting .com. 

Whaddaya got to lose?

Credit where it’s due…redux

 10.05.17: Credit where it’s due…redux

WITH LAST WEEK’S HINT, I included an illustration (above) that shows the text of a caption set flush left, but with the credit flush right.

At the end of that hint, I asked “…how do you get that credit…to be flush right, while the caption itself is set flush left (or justified)?” And then I promised to let you in on the secret this week.

Here it is: Place your cursor before the credit, then hold down the shift key while pressing the tab key.

There ya go! InDesign pushes the credit flush right.

Easy, huh?
