November 2013 Xara Xone Tute: Page Design Part One

[mwenz]

Here's a couple contributions to Gary's tut. Bleed and Safe area rectangles (which I wouldn't otherwise illustrate but for this tut) are on non-printing layers. And because it is hard for me to stick to an actual tutorial, the layout has been changed to a 5" x 7" card for the first one.

The second was a full page as if it were a magazine article. Pay no attention to the ruler lines...they were just there so I could ensure the text baselines align across the columns. The stock photo I used for the background has elements that roughly hit the three main columnar grid.
