Flowing Names Below Portraits

 

Setting Up Names Below Portraits

  • Use a larger portrait size — recommend at least 7×9 picas to accommodate names below; the example in the video uses 8×10.
  • In the Text Controls area, set the text position to Below. The preview updates to show names under each portrait.
  • Optional: choose to put first and last names on separate lines.

Spacing and Margins Options

  • Horizontal spacing: controls the space between columns of portraits.
  • Vertical spacing: controls the space between rows of portraits. Increase this to make room for the height of the name text.
  • Inner margin: increase this to push the portrait group away from the center of the spread (the gutter) and center it on the page instead.
  • Give the preview a moment to update after making changes.

Adjusting Spacing and Margins

  1. Set horizontal and vertical spacing values as desired.
  2. Adjust the inner margin as desired to center the portrait group.
  3. Click Flow Portraits to apply.
