Is this what you were thinking Brother Franson?

How do you get rid of widows and orphans in InDesign? I’ve tried looking for it in paragraphs styles but I can’t find an option like this.

Originally for my booklet I wanted to do something to the effect of the inner workings of the human brain. As I was thinking about it though, I decided that doing something about a normal person’s brain would not be very exciting because it is average. My new idea is to do my booklet on savants (autistic minority with extraordinary gifts and talents, like the Rain Man). A savant’s brain doesn’t work/ function in the same way an average person’s does. The plan is to really incorporate the brain into the booklet and also excerpts or facts from savants with amazing abilities.

After days of uncertainty, I found an article from my Readings 400 class that I thought would fit apropriately with my images. It is by Ralph Waldo Emerson and it’s about Art, Beauty and Nature. And basically as a trancendentalist, he believed in spiritual things and found beauty in nature and everything, even the ordinary. Also I’ve found a couple of other quotes from the book from other philosophers that were really great. These comps are really rough and no where near as amazing as those posted so foar but here they are. I don’t really have any specific questions, sorry brother franson. I’m still in my development phase so all the juices are still churning trying to figure out what direction I should go with the composistion.

I made the type align to the left to create more rhythm in the spreads. I also changed the first few spreads. I was wondering if I should make the spreads more cohesive? Does the type seem too chunked together?

I haven’t photoshop most of the pictures and chose my color theme yet. But the basic idea and gird is going to be like this.
I actually have more text prepared. Should I include all of them into the booklet, or shouldn’t? I’m not too clear on the text requirement.

Hey, this is my pamphlet. Its a short annual look at last years fall in the new-home construction market.
I think the carpenters pencil represented something happening in our country right now. I originally used a blue as the background on the cover and throughout, but that was too happy looking, so i changed it to this dark red background that i photographed, i think that helped with the mood of the situation and helped make it so it wasnt as flat looking since i photographed it instead of using a solid color, so there is kind of some texture to it.

My booklet.
Pages 1-2 is the first spread of my book. I just started with the one photo and started adding layer after layer for each page. Pages 7-8 is about the middle of my book. There are some interesting shapes starting to take place. I noticed there was an old man that appeared in the upper right corner of pg. 7. He is just a tad bit creepy! How do I eliminate the hard edges of the layered pictures without cropping the picture really small? Is the blur tool the thing to use? Pages 14-15 is the last spread in my book. It didn’t turn out completely black, but I thought there were some interesting elements introduced.
pgs. 1-2
pgs. 7-8
pgs. 14-15
