InDesign Secrets Video: Rotating Text and Text Frames
In the latest episode of InDesign Secrets on lynda.com, you can learn how to achieve some cool text effects by rotating text and text frames independently. David Blatner shows how to get different results by using different tools. You can keep your text horizontal, and rotate the frame to a different angle.

Or keep the frame level, and rotate the text.

Both looks are easy to achieve. You just have to pay attention to what tool you’re using, and follow the steps shown in the video.
