Operating Instructions
A text area at the top is (big bar) 2-Spaltig, so the text extends upwards!
Then adjust the transparent beams according to and while holding the
8 mm distance from text.
I think this means that, if you need to add more lines of text, extend the big
bar upwards, while maintaining the proper distance from the text.
The lower pane (smal bar, Dokuklasse) must be only single-column!
Title page without bleed
in RGB
Find any font sizes for the text fields in the
Panel "Paragraph styles"!
Image should come behind the bar so that
the transparency comes to the fore.
Do not change the transparency of the bar!
