Eine Initiale ist ein Buchstabe am Anfang eines Absatzes, der größer als der restliche Text ist und kunstvoll ausgeschmückt wird. Initialen kamen erstmals in mittelalterlichen religiösen Texten vor, sind aber nach wie vor ein beliebtes gestalterisches Mittel. Erfahre, wie du in Adobe InDesign eine Initiale erstellen kannst, die Aufmerksamkeit erregt und deinem Text mehr Stil verleiht.
Klicke mit dem Text-Werkzeug auf eine beliebige Stelle innerhalb der Zeile. Klicke im Bedienfeld „Eigenschaften“ im Abschnitt „Absatz“ auf die Schaltfläche „Mehr Optionen“ (drei Punkte). Gib eine Zahl für „Initialhöhe (Zeilen)“ ein, um die Höhe des Anfangsbuchstabens zu vergrößern. Die Höhe unserer Initiale entspricht der Höhe des gesamten Gedichts (neun Zeilen).
2 Initiale perfektionieren.
Im Bedienfeld „Eigenschaften“ unter „Zeichen“ kannst du die Formatierung der Initiale anpassen. Experimentiere mit Schriftarten, Stilen und Flächenfarben.
Wir haben folgende Variationen ausprobiert:
3 Ein Tick moderner.
Wähle deine Initiale mit dem Text-Werkzeug aus, und wähle dann „Schrift > In Pfade umwandeln“. So kannst du Effekte anwenden, ohne den restlichen Text zu verändern. Wähle die Initiale mit dem Auswahl-Werkzeug aus. Suche im Bedienfeld „Eigenschaften“ unter „Aussehen“ nach dem Symbol „fx“, und experimentiere mit den Effekten. Wir haben einen harten Schlagschatten in einer Kontrastfarbe erstellt.
4 Abstand zwischen Initiale und Text vergrößern.
Wähle das Text-Werkzeug aus. Positioniere den Cursor zwischen Initiale und nächstem Buchstaben. Erhöhe im Abschnitt „Zeichen“ das Kerning (Abstand zwischen zwei Buchstaben).
Anstelle des Schlagschattens kannst du die Initiale auch mit einer Grafik füllen. Wähle dazu mit dem Auswahl-Werkzeug die konturierte Initiale aus. Wähle anschließend „Objekt > Inhalt > Grafik“. Wähle „Datei > Platzieren“ und dann eine beliebige Vektorgrafik, ein Muster oder ein Foto aus.
Jetzt weißt du, wie du eine Initiale erstellen kannst, um Texten eine individuelle Note zu verleihen.
