When you draw these second rectangles, if you want the light rectangle to go behind the header rectangle where they overlap, you may need to right click the lighter rectangle and click "Level", "Lower" (Ctrl+End). Extending from that rectangle is another rectangle, which is light in colour. On this rectangle goes the section title. My plan is to give each section a blue rectangular header, the width of one column. I will leave 0.4 inches between the columns. ![]() As I said before, I want to have two columns. Now that you know how to use images we can begin. Also tested against all options for Optical Margins. Tested with Text Frames, Images Frames and a few Shapes incliuding Polygon. Moreover, there is no current workaround for this. Otherwise choose at least 300 dpi resolution for EPS graphics. This bug is not minor to me as it is a blocking issue to use this advanced feature with 'Text Flow Around Frame' feature which is not unlikely in many designs. Ignore the "EXPERIMENTAL" warning, it seems to work well. This keeps the vector quality of your image. If you go this route be sure to go to "File", "Preferences", and go to the "PDF Export" tab and choose "Embed PDF and EPS". Scribus accepts PDF or EPS in the image frames. Therefore if you have a 300x300 px JPG or PNG file, no bigger than 1 inch by 1 inch on your poster! You can avoid this by using vector format graphics. Typically you should shoot for 300 dpi or higher. Note: When using images, ensure they are in high enough resolution so they don't print blurry. The Story Editor is screenshot-ed in the second photo below. In the Story editor you can also choose to center align text, or right align, or justify. Now click the green check mark and your text will appear. Click it and choose "Title" to apply your title style. ![]() Beside the line will appear a box saying "No style". This brings up the story editor, where you can insert text and choose a paragraph style. When you have done that, right click on the new text frame and click "edit text" (or press Ctrl+T). Click the "Text frame" tool (shortcut "T") and click and drag a box roughly where you want it. The final result is shown in the first photo below. This gives the box softer, rounder corners. Next I clicked "Shape" and set "Round corners" to 0.5 inches. I chose Navy Blue, with 80% shade for my fill, and no stroke colour (so no border). There are two colour types, "fill" (the little paint bucket icon) and "stroke" (the pen icon). In properties, click "Colors", and choose any colour you like.
