InDesign has many capabilities, and one of its main selling points would be its layout and typesetting abilities. Yes you can do them in programs like Photoshop, granted that, the InDesign suite has a much larger stretch around the topic. As shown in the images below you can see the typesetting capabilities of the program through the image based on the fish with solid block colour. As per the exercises completed, we were asked to look for a water scene of our own choosing and also to find a fish of our choosing.
Once we had both of these, we were able to conduct both parts of the experimentations for this Process and Production session. The first being altering the photo that we had found of the water setting. As labelled below, you can find the original image as well as the altered image, the altered one being made up of the blue opaque cover that has been pixelated. After doing this we went onto experimenting with a double page spread, this double page spread had the image of the illustrated fish and the typesetting examples that were previously mentioned. This activity tested and instructed us on setting out lines for text to follow, as well as showing how text can move around in a flowing manner as it passes the edges of an image within the document.

And the final piece that was created for the session was where we experimented with the ability to outstretch a certain part of an image with the programs used in the session. The results proved to be rather interesting;
