How to Break Up Big Blocks of Text, Part 2
We’re on a mission to make design easier! Every week, we answer a question from our Design Hotline— an Instagram line where we walk you through your biggest design questions! Here’s a submission we recently answered.
BEFORE
But what if it gets more complex that that? What if you not only have a big block of text, but you also have uneven sections?
Good news! There are many options that you can choose from when dealing with uneven sections.
AFTER
Option 1
Break long blocks of text into even columns, with subheadings.
Option 2
Allow the longer text to flow into another column, with subheadings for only the two main sections.
Option 3
Break up the text into three columns, instead of two. This will create longer sections and a “sidebar” of sorts.
Option 4
Break the long text into two columns and create a footer feature at the bottom for the extra section of information.
