Guidelines for Pull Quotes

Here are a few guidelines for setting pull quotes in your documents:

  • Always hang the punctuation (see Chapter 5).

  • Reduce the size of punctuation in large type.

  • Use only one alignment; for instance, don’t set part of the text flush right and part of it centered.

  • Make centered type obviously centered; break the lines at logical endings to create an interesting visual arrangement.

  • Position initial caps on one of the baselines.

  • Create a style for your pull quotes and use it consistently throughout your publication.
