InDesign pt1

InDesign is one of the industry standards for producing page layouts. There are a lot of similarities between InDesign and Illustrator. 


File new Document
What is the trimmed print size I am going to create? If you are printing a postcode your size is the final size of a postcard.


Always consider Bleed = 3mm. 
Generally you never have to set the Slug area. InDesign will set the printing information for you. 

Facing pages. If you are printing a flyer you would un -tick this box as you would never be looking at both sides of the leaflet at one time.

This is a page layout with Facing pages.


Pages
Without Facing pages ticked.
Adding additional pages - click on the 4 horizontal lines with the downward arrow

These are called Readers Spread
With Facing Pages ticked

Working with the non facing pages
If you are going to work with text, it has to be contained within an image frame. 

Selecting Dummy text - allowing you to think about layout without having content available. 

Text overflow. Clicking on the red box will allow you to drag a box that allows text that cannot fit to be placed linking to the previous text box. Enlarging the original box and increasing the text within that box will take text from the new text box.

Things to consider when importing Photoshop files.

When importing images
Select the image box tool, create an image box then go to 
File>Place and select your image
Or
Go to File>Place

*Remember when working with images on the page in InDesign the images you see are only previews. This means they may look pixelated and low quality. 
- When printing you have to keep all the image files you use within the InDesign's document folder. FILE MANAGEMENT

The reason why a lot of software works in this way is so that you can work on very large InDesign files with it still being manageable.
