Set different margins with twoside in LaTeX
I am trying to set different margins for the first page of my document. As I am not sure about the content of the first page, the afterpage command has been used to achieve the required effect. However, I have noticed that the first paragraph on the second page (the red ellipse on top of Page 2) still has the margins of the first page (please check the example below).
- Is there any way where I can force the new margins on the entire content of the second page?
Starting from the second page, is there a way where I can have a grey rectangle (Page 2 and Page 3 currently are drawn by hand only to demonstrate what I am after) covering the entire wide margin of the page (edge-to-edge vertically and edge-to-text on the wide margin horizontally)?
documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside]{article}
usepackage{lipsum,afterpage}
usepackage[left=1.5cm, top=1.5cm, right=3cm, bottom=1.5cm, nohead, nofoot]{geometry}
begin{document}
newgeometry{left=7.5cm, top=1cm, right=1cm, bottom=1cm}
afterpage{globaldefs=1 restoregeometry}
lipsumlipsumlipsum
end{document}
Thank you.
