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.
