New Contest! The Case of the Evil Eye
Solve this InDesign mystery for a chance at winning a great prize.
Hey folks, it’s time for another InDesign mystery that you can solve for a chance to win an awesome prize!
Here’s the scenario:
You open a file created by another designer and come across an unusual page in the layout. On that page is a single text frame, with some text set in black, and some in white. Beneath the text frame is a circular frame with another frame pasted into it so it looks like an evil eye. And even though this evil eye is not a text frame, text appears to flow inside it.

Wherever you move the eye on the page, it attracts text like a magnet.

What strange force is causing text to appear inside the evil eye?
