: How to fill the remains of the background of a page that is partially filled with an image? I'm creating a report about my latest internship in InDesign where some of my work will fill empty

Posted in: #Background #Fill

I'm creating a report about my latest internship in InDesign where some of my work will fill empty pages. I'm creating various web designs and all of those pages don't have the same ratio as the paper itself, which results in white empty space at both sides.

Let's look at this example from my current document.


The problem is that I would like to fill the complete page, but I would also like to show the whole result, instead of slicing it into two or only show a half at all, as visible in the next example.



And there are many more examples where the whole result doesn't fit the whole page and I'm looking for a great general solution and perhaps you got the solution or either some tips getting a great result.

This document specific, I'm using A5 (148mmx210mm) paper.

Thanks guys!

As I suggested in the comments, I think your best option is to extend the text when the image is narrower.

Something along the lines of:
