The grid booklet was a method of exploring how to respect margins and line spacing for compositions that are very text-heavy. The grid that served as the basis for this booklet was based on the final trim size of the booklet. In this project, I was able to explore more styles of text formatting and deviating from “default” margins and typeface styles. Such examples of this in the booklet are the header styles and pull quotes to emphasize information from the text that could otherwise be overlooked. It was also important to me to use paragraph and character styles in InDesign to make the formatting so much quicker for such a long document; especially for the parts of the speech that were rapped rather than spoken.
